What is Fair Housing?

Housing discrimination is the unfair treatment of people based on their race, color, religion, sex, ancestry, national origin, physical/mental disabilities, or familial status. If you or someone you know feels they have been treated unfairly in their search for housing, please contact Petaluma People Services Center for assistance.
