  Accessible housing for everybody
  
  Whether you reside in a city, suburb, or rural neighborhood, finding safe, affordable housing can be a challenge.
  
  Fortunately, our laws secure your right to pick where to live without discrimination based on race, faith, sex, or a variety of other qualities.
  
  Federal and our state laws in New York exist to guarantee that equal housing opportunities are readily available to all. Some city governments use much more protections. This assistance describes a few of those laws and consists of information about what to do if you think a proprietor, seller, or loan provider has discriminated against you.
  
  Housing is among life's essentials
