FAIR HOUSING AND THE D&E POLICY

​

The Fair Housing Act protects people from discrimination when they are renting, buying, or securing financing for any housing. The regulation specifically covers discrimination because of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, and the presence of children.

​

​It is the policy of D&E to comply fully with all federal, state, and local nondiscrimination laws and to operate in accordance with the rules and regulations governing Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity in housing and employment. Explicitly, D&E shall not on account of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, family status, disability, or age, deny any family or individual the opportunity to apply for or receive assistance under HUD's Program.
