The federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) prohibits discrimination against protected classes, such as people with disabilities. For older adults protected under the FHA, the FHA is critical for ensuring equal access to housing and defense against evictions. In addition, unlike some other civil rights laws, the FHA includes relatively strong enforcement mechanisms.

In this webinar, presenters will provide a broad overview of the FHA and why it is crucial for older adult renters in particular. Presenters will discuss how the FHA can be used to promote housing stability. The information in this webinar will be most helpful for aging, disability, and legal services advocates who work with older renters and want an introduction to the FHA.

Attendees will:

• Learn about the basics of who and what the FHA covers;

• Learn to spot common fair housing issues affecting older adult renters; and

• Learn about how the FHA is enforced and where to refer people with fair housing problems.

** We have chosen the Go to Webinar Platform to respect that during the exploration phase, some families are not yet ready to share their hopes to adopt with others and in Go to Webinar, your names and faces will not be visible to other participants. But we are always happy to support families in building an adoption community! If you do feel ready to connect with other pre-adoptive or adoptive parents, please let us know and we can facilitate introductions for those who wish to be connected to other families. *
