In the aftermath of the recent tornadoes affecting our region, everyone deserves equal access to safe and available housing without discrimination, even if it’s temporary.
If you believe you have been denied housing, treated differently, harassed, or otherwise discriminated
against because of a protected characteristic while seeking lodging or housing assistance, help may be available.
Depending on the circumstances, certain hotels, motels, and short-term rentals may also be subject to fair housing or related anti-discrimination protections.
