The Fair Housing Center Overwhelmingly Serves LMI Individuals and Families

Steve Tomkowiak • Mar 20, 2021

We are often asked for income information concerning the people we serve. For 2020, we received a total of 284 complaints.  Over 90% of the complaints we receive come from low-income to moderate-income families:

Total: 284 – 100%
Low-Income (<50% AMI): 223 – 78.5%
Moderate-Income (<80% AMI): 38 – 13.4%
Not Low- or Moderate-Income: 23 – 8.1%

The Center has never charged any complainant or family for fair housing or other housing-related services.  Our services are supported by HUD grants, county and local sub-CDBG grants, private grants, and contributions. We greatly appreciate the support we receive to enable us to continue to serve the great needs of our community.

Our joy is seeing on a day-by-day basis the differences we make in the lives of the persons we serve. If you have not done so, please consider making a contribution to support our work.
