CHR does not discriminate against any class of applicants. All persons may apply to CHR for affordable housing and are treated equally. The Fair Housing Act is the term commonly used to describe the provisions of Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968. The Act states that it is unlawful to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex/gender, familial status, national origin, or handicap. In addition to what is covered under the federal act, Florida Statute ss.760.20-760.37 also prohibits discrimination on the basis of marital status, age, and creed.
