The Massachusetts Fair Housing Center works to eliminate housing discrimination and residential segregation in Western and Central Massachusetts. MFHC protects civil rights, educates the community about their legal rights, and the housing industry about their responsibilities. MFHC enforces the fair housing laws through complaint intake, investigation, and by offering free legal representation to victims of housing discrimination. Our legal advocacy prevents homelessness, creates lead-safe housing for children, protects the housing rights of victims of domestic violence, defends victims of hate crimes and provides people with disabilities with equal access to housing. MFHC provides its services in English and Spanish.
