NYC Commission on Human Rights
A poster aimed at curbing housing discrimination.
“Opening the Section 8 waitlist was huge, but it only addressed part of the problem—the city must invest more resources in addressing discrimination against voucher holders by increasing funding for the City Commission on Human Rights.”
“As a city, do we want to make people suffer through three months of homelessness before we give them a chance to regain stability through housing?”
“Often a proxy for racial, disability or family status discrimination, Source of Income (SOI) discrimination prevents voucher holders from accessing housing and undermines the strides that New York City has made investing in rental assistance.”
