Mission Statement
The mission of the Fair Housing Center of Central Indiana (FHCCI) is to ensure equal housing opportunities by eliminating housing discrimination through advocacy, enforcement, education and outreach.
Description
The Fair Housing Center of Central Indiana (FHCCI) recognizes the importance of "home" and envisions a country free of housing discrimination where every individual, group and community enjoys equal housing opportunity and access in a bias-free and open housing market. We envision a country where integrated neighborhoods are the norm, and private and public sectors guarantee civil rights in an open and barrier-free community committed to healing the history of discrimination in America.
The FHCCI has two primary goals in its work to fight housing discrimination:
- educate the public on fair housing laws so people recognize and report problems and understand their responsibilities, and
- engage in enforcement activities to eliminate unlawful discriminatory practices.
The FHCCI fights housing discrimination not only because it is unlawful, but also because it is a divisive force that perpetuates poverty, segregation, ignorance, fear and hatred.
