City of San Diego to educate consumers about fair housing practices

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – The San Diego Regional Alliance for Fair Housing is working with the City of San Diego to train consumers on fair housing practices and new housing laws.

They are conducting a Fair Housing survey, which is available until Feb. 14, as well as holding workshops and seminars.

Fair Housing laws prohibit discrimination in all aspects of housing, including home sales, rentals, housing policies and financing. Each resident is entitled to equal access to housing opportunities regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability/medical conditions, familial status, marital status, age, ancestry, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, source of income or any other arbitrary reason.

Christina Bibler, Economic Development, City of San Diego, and Rosalina Spencer, Legal Aid Society of San Diego, were in studio to tell us more about it.
