Fair Housing Center of Metropolitan Detroit

For over 45 years, the Fair Housing Center of Metropolitan Detroit has worked to make fair housing attainable. The center focuses on housing discrimination. Fair housing protections apply when people rent or buy a home, obtain a mortgage, or take part in other housing-related activities. They also protect people from retaliation for exercising their rights. The center explains protections such as reasonable accommodations and modifications for people with disabilities, accessibility in new multifamily housing, and fair administration of programs receiving HUD funding. Its resources describe examples of housing discrimination, including discriminatory rental practices and denial of disability-related accommodations. The organization serves the Detroit area from its location on Conner Street.
