Our organization is a private, non profit agency. We serve the State of Oregon and Clark County, Washington. We promote equal access to housing by providing education, outreach, technical assistance, and enforcement opportunities related to:

• (Federal law) a person's gender, race, color, national origin, religion, disability, and familial status (presence of children or pregnancy).
• (Oregon state law) marital status, source of income, and sexual orientation.
• (Washington state law) marital status, sexual orientation, and honorably discharged veterans and those with military status.
• in addition, local jurisdictions have the power to add their own protected classes and many have. Click here for information by jurisdiction.

Our organization's mission is to provide education and outreach services explaining fair housing laws, as well as enforcement and investigations following complaints we receive.

We provide a number of brochures explaining fair housing laws. Also, we have videos, available for loan, demonstrating fair housing laws in action.

There are many organizations providing fair housing coverage in states across the union, some of which you can link to from here.

We also have five summary articles available, providing general guidance on five aspects of fair housing law:

1. Advertising
2. Disability
3. Accessibility
4. Familial Status Discrimination (families with children)
5. National Origin Discrimination

To report a fair housing complaint please call:
(503) 223-8197 or 1-800-424-3247 (TTY) (Se habla espaņol) or HUD 1-800-877-0246
