Fair Housing Compliance: HOME Act
Did you know Maryland expanded our fair housing laws? The HOME Act added "source of income" as a protected class in 2020. Learn what that means (hint: it's not just about vouchers!), and what common business practices and policies need to be updated to be in compliance with the law at this free online training offered by Economic Action Maryland. The training will be recorded and all registrants will be provided with a link. Register here!
Know Your Rights: HOME Act
In 2020, Maryland expanded its fair housing laws by passing the HOME Act, which adds "source of income" as a protected class. This extends fair housing rights to people with government assistance like section 8 vouchers and eviction prevention funds, as well as others with non-wage income. Learn about your newest fair housing rights and how to report discrimination. Register for this free online training here!
Know Your Rights: Disability and Housing
As many as 20% of all Marylanders have a disability. The Fair Housing Act not only protects people with disabilities from housing discrimination, it also affords them additional housing rights. Learn about your right to accommodations and modifications, how to advocate for yourself, and what to do if your housing provider denies your request. Register for this free online training here!
