Fair Housing

The NYC Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) and the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) are charged with protecting and providing fair housing in the City of New York.  The two agencies collaborated on a campaign to inform New Yorkers about their Fair Housing rights and responsibilities.

What's Fair Housing?

All New Yorkers deserve fair and equal access to housing.  The NYC Human Rights Law prohibits discrimination in private and public housing, land, and commercial spaces in New York City. This means that any person sellling, renting, or leasing (including landlords, superintendents, building managers, brokers, and relators) cannot discriminate because of a person's actual or perceived protected status under the law.
