Fair Housing is Still Important

April 9, 2020
April is Fair Housing Month. The CCHR wants to remind landlords and real estate professionals that the Chicago Fair Housing Ordinance prohibits discrimination based on fourteen protected classes including source of income. This includes all lawful sources of income, and from any lawful occupation inclusing those in the service industry such as wait staff, cooks, and baristas. The CCHR will continue to enforce the ordinance and investigate complaints of fair housing discrimination and hold violators accountable.
