Fair Housing Hearing Board
The Fair Housing Hearing Board works to improve public awareness of the City’s Fair Housing Ordinance, which prohibits discrimination in housing opportunities on the basis of race, color, religion, family status, disability, national origin or sex. The board’s education and outreach efforts include an annual Fair Housing Conference on issues related to housing and discrimination.
In addition, the Community Services Department’s staff liaison for the Board provides information and referrals to people exercising their rights under landlord-tenant laws.
The five members of the Fair Housing Hearing Board are Raleigh residents appointed by the City Council.
