In 2008, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) stated that 44% of 10,552 housing discrimination complaints were filed by persons with disabilities. Many times a person with disabilities will experience discrimination while residing in a residence and while looking for residency.


Arc-Winnebago County Disability Association and the Fair Housing Center of Northeast Wisconsin are collaborating to educate the community about fair housing laws as they relate to persons with disabilities. . The seminar will offer role playing of cases of discrimination and will demonstrate tools that are available by the Fair Housing Center to investigate cases of housing discrimination._
