The federal Fair Housing Act prevents people from being discriminated against in securing housing. Its protections extend to ownership and rental activities, and housing assistance programs. The District of Columbia (DC) is required by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to consistently strive to remove impediments to achieving fair housing.
The C100 advocates for aggressive enforcement of the Fair Housing Act by the DC Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and effective implementation of housing programs designed to further the Fair Housing Act in DC. .
