Members of the Pinellas Continuum of Care (CoC) are invited to participate in Fair Housing Training. Presented by Jeffery Lorick, Director of the Pinellas County Office of Human Rights.
The Fair Housing Act prohibits housing discrimination on the basis of any “protected class.” Protected classes include race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, familial status, and national origin. The Act applies to all housing, regardless of the type of funding or ownership, including housing owned by private individuals or organizations. All CoC- and ESG-assisted programs must have updated policies and procedures that reflect fair housing requirements.
