Metropolitan St. Louis Equal Housing & Opportunity Council

We are the only private, not-for-profit fair housing enforcement agency working to end illegal housing discrimination in the Metropolitan St. Louis area. We operate throughout Missouri and Illinois. EHOC fights illegal housing discrimination through:

• Education on fair housing laws for housing providers (lenders, landlords, real estate agents and insurance agents), local governmental bodies (those who should be concerned about the affects of discrimination on their communities) and the general public (especially those who are most likely to experience illegal discrimination); and

• Enforcement actions against those who we find, through our investigations, discriminate illegally; and

• Community outreach, by participating in grass-roots and community-based projects; working with academics, civil rights leaders, and the housing industry; and spreading the word about our services and message through public service announcements, press releases, distribution of material, and the creation of this website.
