Fair Housing
The Fair Housing Division of the Human Relations Department investigates complaints of discrimination in housing.
The City of Greensboro has a Fair Housing Ordinance that protects people from discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, national origin, gender, handicap (physical and mental disability), and family status (families with children under 18 including single parents, adopted children, and pregnant women).
It is illegal for anyone to discriminate in any public or private residential real estate transaction, including buying, selling, renting, financing, and advertising.
If housing discrimination is found, the law provides for an award of monetary damages to the victim or an order stopping the discrimination.
The Fair Housing Specialist is fluent in Spanish.
