April is National Fair Housing Month and marks the anniversary of the Federal Fair Housing Act. This landmark legislation prohibits housing discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status and disability.
The City of Carpinteria is committed to fair housing, partnering with Santa Barbara’s Rental Housing Mediation Program for 18 years to provide education, eviction prevention and mediation services. Despite progress, housing discrimination remains a concern.
As part of this important month, the City encourages residents to learn more about their rights and the resources available through the Rental Housing Mediation Program at https://carpinteriaca.gov/city-hall/community-development/housing/
