Fair Housing 2021: What Counselors Need to Know: LGBTQI+ Protections Under FHA and in HUD Programs

The Fair Housing Act prohibits housing discrimination on the basis of sex, including sexual orientation and gender identity. This session of the Fair Housing 2021: What Counselors Need to Know Conference, reviewed how the Fair Housing Act (FHA) applies to the Lesbian, Gay, Transgender, Queer+ (LGBTQI+) community, equal access to housing protections, HUD's Equal Access Rules, and how to identify if your client's rights may have been infringed and how your agency can be of support.

Speakers:

• Joseph Carroll, Program Analyst, Program Standards Compliance, HUD's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO)
• Sid Alvarado, Lead Community Development Specialist, ICF
