| Description: |
The
Vermont Fair Housing Project is a statewide program of the Champlain Valley
Office of Economic Opportunity (CVOEO), a nonprofit community action agency.
VFHP can assist victims of discrimination in the filing of housing
discrimination complaints with the Vermont Human Rights Commission or the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban development. FHP also helps in securing private
legal representation, or with housing discrimination laws or issues. In Vermont,
it is illegal to discriminate or harass in the sale or rental of housing because
of a person's race, sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status, religion,
color, national origin, disability, family status, or receipt of public
assistance. Housing discrimination may be subtle or not so subtle and may
include statements like, "You have too many kids for this apartment,"
or "We only rent to professionals, not families with kids or people on
welfare," or actions placing people all in one section of the housing
because of their race or national origin. |
