We host a variety of events throughout the year, including Housing Advocates Training sessions, our annual Fair Housing Breakfast fundraiser, educational seminars, and other community events.
Based on orignal research done by FHC staff member Marnay Avant, this training will look at the unique issues for women who use Section 8 vouchers and the strategies they employ to have their property owners/managers keep the unit in liveable condition. Audience: Advocates for low income women and families. This free training has been made possible through a grant from MSHDA.
Landlords with five or more rental properties cannot refuse to rent to tenants who use income sources like housing vouchers (including Housing Choice Vouchers/Section 8), Social Security, disability, veterans’ benefits, child support, or alimony. Learn how to get help and enforce your rights. We’ll also provide an overview of federal and state fair housing laws. Audience: Community members. Pizza will be provided for registrants. This free training has been made possible through a grant from MSHDA.
Join us on May 14th from 5 to 7 PM at the Ypsilanti Cocktail Club to celebrate the importance of the Fair Housing Act, commemorate the close of our Fair Housing Month Fundraiser, and network with other civil rights supporters. We will offer a free drink ticket (good for one mocktail or cocktail) to anyone who donates $50.00 or more to our Fair Housing Month Fundraiser. Donations are not required to attend the event. RSVP today. Thank you to our sponsor, Lake Michigan Credit Union, for making this event possible.
