Who We Are
Overview
"The Fair Housing Project of Alaska Legal Services is Alaska’s only statewide full-service fair housing organization. We work to eliminate housing discrimination and to ensure equal housing opportunity for all people in Alaska through education, outreach, advocacy, and enforcement.
The Project works in three main areas:
- Providing education and outreach on fair housing issues to residents, advocates and service providers throughout Alaska;
- Offering legal advice and representation to individuals who have been discriminated against;
- Conducting fair housing testing to determine possible discrimination based on race, disability, familial status, and other grounds.
The Fair Housing Project provides services to members of all protected classes, with special emphasis upon underserved areas and populations including Alaska Natives; immigrants; residents who are non-English speaking or have limited English proficiency; rural residents; persons with disabilities; homeless individuals; and persons residing in areas with large concentrations of people of color.
All fair housing services are provided free of charge. There are no income eligibility requirements."
Eduction and Outreach
"The Fair Housing Project works to educate Alaska residents about their rights under federal, state, and local fair housing laws through trainings, seminars, and conferences. Fair housing trainings and educational seminars conducted by the Project target renters and homebuyers; people with disabilities and their service providers; and local governments, housing developers, property managers, and other housing providers. For more information about upcoming programs, or to see about scheduling a training or educational seminar for your organization, please consult the calendar or contact the Fair Housing Project by email at fairhousing@alsc-law.org.
In addition, the Project has free literature regarding the fair housing rights of Alaska residents in English and other languages. To obtain copies of our brochures, contact the Project at fairhousing@alsc-law.org."
