We have also heard from other homeseekers that they have been able to find fairly cheap housing through the Potpourri Mailer. I believe I've been discriminated against. The City contracts with Fremont Fair Housing to investigate housing discrimination complaints on the basis of race, sex, marital status, children, national origin, and disability. I have a Section 8 voucher, but landlords here in Fremont will not accept my Section 8. Landlords are not required by law to participate in the Section 8 program.
Participation is voluntary.
Therefore, landlords can legally decline to participate. The City has developed a number of First Time Homebuyer Programs for individuals who currently work or live in Fremont. Eligible families may qualify for low interest loans to help purchase a home in Fremont. For more information, call 494-4500.
