Everyone deserves to live in a safe place. It’s important for EVERYONE to be treated with fairness, respect, and dignity when looking for a place to live. The New Orleans Fair Housing Action Center has written a book called The Fair Housing Five & The Haunted House. Be sure to check out their website to learn more about the book and to help answer any questions you or your family might have about receiving access to fair housing.
