Fair Housing Policy

Equal Housing Opportunity
We are pledged to the letter and spirit of the U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the nation. We encourage and support an affirmative advertising and marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.

- Race
- Color
- National Origin
- Religion
- Sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation under HUD guidance)
- Familial Status (families with children under 18)
