Fair Housing

You have the right to equal opportunity in rental, sale and financing of housing under federal, state and local laws.

If you have a disability and are otherwise qualified to participate in a program that receives Federal financial assistance (such as public housing, some privately-owned housing, or Section 8), you are further protected from discrimination in housing. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 guarantees that agencies responsible for these programs must provide access and make reasonable accommodations so that you are able to enjoy the full benefits and privileges of the program. For more information, contact our Fair Housing Advocates by email or at 802-229-0501.

It is against the law for a landlord to refuse to allow a person with a disability to make reasonable modifications to an apartment, at the expense of the tenant, or to make reasonable accommodations in rules, practices, or services, when needed for the full enjoyment of the premises by a tenant with a disability. Contact our Home Access Program for information for tenants and landlords about making apartments and homes accessible to people with disabilities.
