About CFHC
Mission Statement
The mission of the Connecticut Fair Housing Center is to ensure that all people have equal access to housing opportunities in Connecticut. Because Connecticut’s low-income residents are particularly affected by discriminatory housing practices, the Center devotes its scarce resources principally to assisting Connecticut’s low-income residents.
Who are we?
Connecticut Fair Housing Center is a statewide, non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring equal housing opportunity for everyone in Connecticut.
What do we do?
If you or someone you know has experienced housing discrimination the Connecticut Fair Housing Center will do the following:
- take down information about what happened;
- investigate any complaint we receive;
- offer advice and counseling about the fair housing laws;
- provide free legal representation to the victims of housing discrimination.
The work of the Connecticut Fair Housing Center does not stop with people who experience discrimination. We work to educate everyone about their rights and responsibilities under the fair housing laws and to bring communities together to strengthen the fight against housing discrimination.
In addition, the Center serves the community by:
- conducting education workshops on fair housing issues;
- investigating claims of housing discrimination;
- providing free legal assistance to the victims of housing discrimination;
- working closely with city governments and housing providers on fair housing issues;
- educating all members of the housing provider community on their rights and responsibilities under the fair housing laws.
