Causes: Homeless & Housing
Mission: We are a private, non-profit organization which was incorporated in august, 2011. Our mission is to ensure equal housing opportunities by eliminating housing discrimination through advocacy, enforcement, education, and outreach. We fight housing discrimination not only because it is unlawful, but also because it is a divisive force that perpetuates poverty, segregation, ignorance, fear, and hatred. We primarily serve 24 counties in central indiana: bartholomew, boone, brown, clinton, decatur, delaware, fayette, franklin, hamilton, hancock, hendricks, henry, johnson, madison, marion, monroe, morgan, putnam, randolph, rush, shelby, tipton, union, and wayne. We are available to assist other counties in indiana as staff resources and budgets allow.
Programs: The fair housing center of central indiana has two primary goals. One of those goals is to educate the public on fair housing laws so people recognize and report problems and understand their responsibilities. The other goal is to engage in enforcement activities to eliminate unlawful discriminatory practices.
