Louisiana Fair Housing Action Center

The Louisiana Fair Housing Action Center (LaFHAC) is a nonprofit civil rights organization established in 1995 to eradicate housing discrimination, promote housing choice, and advocate for thriving, inclusive communities. LaFHAC's work throughout Louisiana includes educational offerings, free legal services for victims of housing discrimination and people facing eviction, policy advocacy, and foreclosure prevention counseling. LaFHAC is dedicated to fighting discrimination because it is an illegal and divisive force that perpetuates poverty and segregation, and limits access to opportunity.

Testimonials

"I became involved with LaFHAC as a tester, and it opened my eyes firsthand to the types of discrimination people face when it comes to housing. I went undercover and pretended to be on the market for renting an apartment, and it was disheartening that I, a black woman, was told that the apartment I was interested in was not available anymore, yet when a white tester went in to check the apartment after me, he was offered the place right on spot. It was hurtful but then I was reminded of the invaluable work LaFHAC does and why education and awareness about this issue is so important."
