Fair Housing Office

The Virginia Fair Housing office increases awareness of and compliance with the law by conducting effective and efficient investigations, resolving complaints, providing training and filing complaints against non-complying persons and entities. 



Federal and state fair housing laws prohibit housing discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, and familial status (families with children under age 18). In addition, Virginia's Fair Housing Law further protects "elderliness," individuals age 55 or older, from housing discrimination.



If you think you have been discriminated against or if you have questions about the fair housing laws, call the office or visit the website.   TDD users, please call the Virginia Relay by dialing 7-1-1.
