Refusing to rent to Housing Choice Voucher holders is illegal, it is making our homeless crisis worse, and it must stop. Yesterday, we filed 112 complaints with the California Civil Rights Department, documenting housing discrimination by 203 landlords, real estate agents, and brokerage firms. I believe this is the largest housing discrimination case in California history.?
Well said Adam!
