Let your clients and staff know about their housing rights!
U.S. Law prohibits landlords, realtors, and mortgage companies from discriminating based on any of the following:
- race;
- religion;
- national origin;
- gender;
- disability;
- having children.
Unfortunately, housing discrimination is still common, and with some populations the problem appears to be on the rise.
The Adult Education program at LCFS, in collaboration with the Fair Housing Council of Suburban Philadelphia, is working to promote greater understanding of housing discrimination law in Southeast Pennsylvania.
We can provide a free one-hour training for staff at your agency, so they can be informed when relating to clients about their housing needs.
In addition, we can provide free trainings, ranging in length from 1 - 2.5 hours, in community ESL, GED, ABE classes at your locations.
These trainings allow participants to recognize housing discrimination to learn about free legal help in cases where their legal rights are being violated.
In addition, the training can be designed to briefly discuss any of the following:
- finding housing;
- reading and understanding a lease;
- legal rights of people being evicted.
To schedule a Fair Housing Training, please contact Todd Miller at 215-747-7500, extension 257, or via email at toddm@lcfsinpa.org.
