Fair Housing

Fair Housing is the right to equal opportunity in housing choice and the right to rent or buy a dwelling free from discrimination.

City of Burlington CEDO Housing

Housing-focused division of the City of Burlington Community & Economic Development Office (CEDO). Programs and resources include:

  • BIPOC affordable home ownership program.
  • Conducted Housing Summit to explore challenges and opportunities

In addition to protecting people from discrimination, fair-housing laws also prohibit the federal, state, and local governments from undertaking actions that intentionally or inadvertently limit housing opportunities in unfair ways. Municipal practices or policies that appear reasonable on the surface may result in a deeper level of harm.
