Disability and Fair Housing Training
About this Event
The Lens Webinar Series is a free monthly educational program offered by the Human Rights Office that examines topics related to human rights, access, and belonging. About the program.
Fair housing remains a critical issue nationwide, particularly for individuals with disabilities who often face barriers to finding suitable housing that meets their unique needs. Discriminatory practices can include inaccessible buildings, unreasonable rental policies, or a lack of reasonable accommodation, all of which can significantly impact the ability of people with disabilities to secure safe and affordable housing.
This fair housing training will empower tenants with a disability to become more knowledgeable on Iowa City's Fair Housing Ordinance and how to file a fair housing complaint with the Office.
