Southwest Fair Housing Council (SWFHC) was established to stop housing discrimination and to help those who have experienced it, stand up for their rights. The Fair Housing Act was established in 1968 to prevent unfair housing deals based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, or whether you have kids or not. Our goal is to eliminate all forms of illegal discrimination related to housing. Through our research, advocacy, enforcement, community outreach, passionate staff and diverse board, we help more people achieve equal access to housing. We are recognized as one of the superior fair housing organizations in the nation.
