FAIR HOUSING

IS YOUR RIGHT: USE IT!

In April, we come together as a community and a nation to celebrate the anniversary of the passing of the Fair Housing Act.

Fundamentally, fair housing means that every person can live free.  This means that our communities are open and welcoming, free from housing discrimination and hostility. But this also means that each one of us, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, and disability, has access to neighborhoods of opportunity, where our children can attend quality schools, our environment allows us to be healthy, allows economic opportunities and self-sufficiency to grow.

Bullhead City’s commitment to fair housing is a living commitment, one that reflects the needs of today and prepares us for a future of full integration.

The laws prohibit housing providers such as landlords, sellers, lenders and insurance agents from discriminating against anyone who has any one of the “protected classes” in the purchasing, rental financing, or insuring of housing. All types of housing are covered, including single family homes, apartments, condominiums, mobile homes, and other dwellings and common areas.
