FCDC will be hosting a Fair Housing information booth on July 17, 2025.
If you are looking to rent or purchase a home, you can learn about how the Fair Housing Act protects your rights to receive equal housing opportunities. You can also learn about what to do if you think your rights to fair housing have been violated. Landlords, home sellers, Realtors, and lenders can get information about Fair Housing Act changes that went into effect on December 31, 2015.
The booth will be open from 10 am – 11 am at the Fillmore County Development Corporation located at 1320 G St. Geneva, NE 68361. A representative from the Southeast Nebraska Development District will be on hand to provide brochures and answer questions. For further information, you may also contact our SENDD representative, Nichole Jones, at njones@sendd.org.
Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (Fair Housing Act) prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental and financing of dwellings based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Title VIII was amended in 1988 to expand the coverage of the Fair Housing Act to prohibit discrimination based on disability or familial status (presence of child under age of 18, and pregnant women).
