Fair Housing - It's Your Right!

The Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 makes it unlawful to discriminate in the sale or rental of housing on the basis of race, color, religion, handicap, familial status (families with children), or national origin. Other acts have included, or inserted other protected classes (sex, age) to make the act more inclusive. The Fair Housing Act covers all real estate related transactions including the sale or rental of housing, insurance, appraisals, lending, redlining, blockbusting, and due to the civil rights issues hate related crimes. It is also unlawful to retaliate against a person who exercises their rights under the law, or any person who assists them in exercising their rights.

If you believe your rights have been violated, contact Goodyear Neighborhood Services at 623-882-7801(TDD 623-932-6500) or via email to: GoodyearCares@goodyearaz.gov for guidance.

Or you may file a complaint directly with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development using an on-line complaint form via the following link:  http://www.hud.gov/complaints/housediscrim.cfm

The Arizona Attorney General's Office is responsible for enforcing Arizona’s Fair Housing Act as well as educating our community about the importance of fair housing and the requirements of our civil rights laws. If you would like more information or feel you have been a victim of housing discrimination, call the Attorney General’s Office at 602-542-5263 or email.
