HOUSING DISCRIMINATION UNMASKED.

“ When I went looking for an apartment, I wore a mask. But they could still see I’m Black. I was told that they wouldn’t rent to me because they heard Black people were disproportionately getting COVID-19.”

COVID-19 inequity is real, and it shouldn’t be made worse because of housing discrimination. If you suspect housing discrimination because of your race, color or national origin, file a complaint with HUD or your local fair housing center so we can investigate it.
