The Office of Human Rights recently launched a Fair Housing “Know Your Rights” campaign. The goal of the education and awareness campaign is to educate the immigrant community and members of the GLBT community about their rights under the Fair Housing laws enforced by OHR. The campaign includes English and Spanish ads in local newspapers, as well as WMATA ads that will appear on buses and in metro stations across the District.  The partner for the WMATA portion of the campaign is the Equal Rights Center.

The DC Office of Human Rights is an agency of the District of Columbia government that seeks to eradicate discrimination, increase equal opportunity and protect human rights in the city.
