The mission of the Northwest Fair Housing Alliance is to eliminate housing discrimination and to ensure equal housing opportunity for the people of Washington State through education, counseling and advocacy.  They provide REALTORS® with resources to help further their mission in the community, and to ensure that tenants, rental applicants, homebuyers, homeowners and condominium owners are protected from housing discrimination. The federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) provides protection, equal opportunity, and discrimination free housing on the basis of: race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, and familial status. Additionally, the WA Law Against Discrimination (WLAD) gives additional housing protections for marital status, sexual orientation / gender identity, and veteran / military status.
