education and outreach
campaign? Maybe you want
to find out more information

Fair Lending
Fair lending means that
borrowers get the same
terms and conditions as
another borrower with a
similar credit history and
income, regardless of
race, color, national origin,
familial status, religion or
disability.
Fair housing is the law in
South Carolina as in the nation.
Find out what fair housing is,
what kinds of activities are
prohibited, who is protected and
what types of housing are
covered by the Fair Housing Act
and other related laws. Check
out our Fair Housing Library and
read examples of housing
discrimination so you can
recognize it when it happens or
prevent it if you are a housing
provider.
Accessible Housing
Fair Housing is housing that is
accessible to everyone,
regardless of disability. The
Fair Housing Act provides
additional protections for
individuals with disabilities,
places additional requirements
on developers and allows for
reasonable accommodations
and modifications.

Fair Housing is Your Right. Use it.
Public awareness starts with understanding. To help raise awareness of
fair housing, HUD designates April as Fair Housing Month and launches
a national ad campaign. Again this year, HUD has teamed up with the
National Fair Housing Alliance to create a professional advertising
campaign that includes full-color 16”x20” posters, 7”x10” magazine ads,
6.437”x10.5” localizable newspaper ads. The posters and magazine ads
can be customized for local areas too.
