“The Fair Housing Advocates Association recognizes the importance of a “home” as a component of the American dream and envisions a community and a state free of housing discrimination where every individual, group and community enjoys equal housing opportunity and access in a bias free and open housing market where integrated neighborhoods are the norm, and the private and public sector guarantees civil rights in an open and barrier free community committed to healing the history of discrimination in America.”




The Mission of the Fair Housing Advocates Association is to eliminate housing discrimination, lending and homeowners insurance discrimination, and racial and sexual harassment and ensure housing opportunities for all people. Specifically, the FHAA seeks to eliminate housing discrimination against all persons because of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, or familial status. In furthering this goal, FHAA engages in activities designed to encourage fair housing practices through educational efforts; assists persons who believe they have been victims of housing discrimination; identifies barriers to fair housing in order to help counteract and eliminate discriminatory housing practices; works with elected and government representatives to protect and improve fair housing laws; and takes all appropriate and necessary action to ensure that fair housing laws are properly and fairly enforced throughout Summit County, City of Barberton, and Ohio.
