April marks Fair Housing Month, commemorating the signing of the Fair Housing Act of 1968—a landmark civil rights law that prohibits housing discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, and familial status. This month is both a celebration of progress and a call to action to ensure that everyone has access to safe, stable, and equitable housing.

FHCO proudly leads this effort statewide. We are Oregon’s only civil rights organization dedicated exclusively to fair housing. We work to eliminate illegal housing discrimination and promote equal access through education, outreach, technical assistance, and enforcement.

Our impact reaches urban and rural communities. We partner with local advisory groups to address housing challenges on the ground. Through our hotline, we assist individuals and families facing discrimination and ensure they have the support and resources they need.
Fair Housing Month is a time to reaffirm our shared commitment to equity in housing. Together, we can create communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
