Fair Chance HousingTuesday, May 15, 2018, 11 am to 3 pm, Two Union Square, 601 Union Street, Seattle, WA 98101-1371, 51st Floor Conference Center AHMA Member: $150 • Non-Members: $180 lunch included On February 19, 2018, the Seattle Office for Civil Rights will enforce the Fair Chance Housing ordinance (Seattle Municipal Code 14.09) to help prevent discrimination in housing against renters who live with criminal history. The new ordinance prevents landlords from unfairly denying applicants housing based on criminal history. It also prohibits the use of advertising language that automatically or categorically excludes people with arrest records, conviction records, or criminal history. The legislation caps a decade-long effort to address discrimination against people who have served their time, are seeking to provide for themselves and their families, and yet have faced barriers to accessing safe, stable housing. We will provide an overview of the new Ordinance to landlords and housing providers who provide housing in Seattle on how to comply with this new law. Registration for this event has closed. Please call DeAnn Hartman at 360-561-3480 if you wish to attend the training. Union Square Conference Center Directions I-5 SOUTHBOUND |
