The Fair Housing Center of Southeast & Mid Michigan is a private, nonprofit fair housing organization. We actively work to investigate complaints of illegal housing discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, familial status, marital status, age, and other locally protected classes.
The mission of the Fair Housing Center is to end discrimination in housing and public accommodations and to promote accessible, integrated communities. We provide investigative services, testing, advice, advocacy, conciliation, attorney referrals, and community education.
The FHC has been operating for thirty-two years. We have collected over $3,649,000 in settlements from over 105 cases. To learn more about our impact, visit our By The Numbers page, read through our Litigation Log, or discover our history.

Paula Scott accepted a non-disclosed amount to settle her race discrimination claim against Swan Creek Mobile Home Community in Ypsilanti Township. Ms. Scott contacted the Fair Housing Center to report that she received an eviction notice after her 17-year-old daughter was the victim of an assault by the mother of another resident in the mobile home park. The Scott family is African American, and the other family is white.

I no longer could afford a caregiver because I couldn’t afford the street parking any longer.
The Fair Housing Center was informed about my situation and immediately followed up with a letter to the management of my apartment.
The following day, I was able to have my caregiver back, and able to see me.
Dani Laurion, FHC complainant
