April brings in Fair Housing Month, a period dedicated to championing equal treatment in housing transactions. In Phoenix, the city code enacts a no-tolerance policy against discrimination in housing — be it renting, purchasing, applying for loans or insurance, and in housing advertisements. According to the City of Phoenix announcement, discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, national origin, familial status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or source of income is expressly prohibited.
The Phoenix Equal Opportunity Department is the go-to place for support and guidance, barring discrimination, supplying resources and assistance, and aiding those who suspect they've been wronged.
