The Greater New Orleans Fair Housing Action Center trains lawyers and first time home buyers as well as conducting
studies aimed at reducing illegal racial discrimination. It solicits donations on its website as well as accepting
funding from government.
From their website:
The Greater New Orleans Fair Housing Action Center
(GNOFHAC) is a private, non-profit civil rights organization
established in the summer of 1995 to eradicate housing discrimination
throughout the greater New Orleans area. Through education,
investigation, and enforcement activities, GNOFHAC promotes fair
competition throughout the housing marketplace -- rental, sales,
lending, and insurance. GNOFHAC is dedicated to fighting housing
discrimination not only because it is illegal, but also because it is a
divisive force that perpetuates poverty, segregation, ignorance, fear,
and hatred.
The Fair
Housing Action Center, Inc., or FHAC, was established in August 1995
with help from the National Fair Housing Alliance and a grant from U.S.
HUD. FHAC is a private, non-profit organization that will work to
further the goal of fair housing and open neighborhoods in the greater
New Orleans area.
The New Orleans Human Relations Commission is the branch of the Orleans Government charged with enforcing the Human Relations Rights Laws. Other parishes do what?
