Los Angeles County, CA, January 2023- Fair Housing Foundation (FHF) welcomes the 2023 New Year with adding Lancaster to the growing FHF service area. FHF has been servicing the Los Angeles and Orange County areas since 1964 as one of the fair housing enforcement and education agencies that was created after the implementation of the federal Fair Housing Act. With the addition of the city of Hawthorne last fall, and now the city of Lancaster, FHF now proudly serves 26 cities in the SoCal area.
“We are extremely excited to begin this new partnership with the city of Lancaster. The FHF team has already started promoting fair housing and are eager to provide guidance to the residents and housing providers within the city,” said Stella Verdeja, Executive Director.
In this new collaboration, FHF looks forward to building a strong relationship with the city and offering the fair housing services and resources that are now available to all Lancaster residents. Landlords and tenants alike are now able to benefit from using the FHF Hotline for questions on rights and responsibilities, attend a workshop to learn about basic fair housing, have discrimination investigated, improve financial health by participating in the Rental Counseling Program and more.
Each city also works in collaboration with FHF by inviting FHF to host free educational workshops, promoting FHF as the fair housing service provider, and issuing city-wide proclamations during the upcoming Fair Housing Month in April- acknowledging the importance in promoting equality in housing choices for everyone.
More than just a fair housing non-profit, FHF encourages community well-being at different levels through cities, schools, community non-profits, property management organizations, and city residents through advocacy, support, education, and awareness. FHF now proudly welcomes the city of Lancaster.
