As a component of its participation in the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, Rowan County has identified several activities to further Fair Housing in the community. One such activity is providing public notice and education of Title VIII compliance. Rowan County supports Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 and its subsequent amendments and furthermore, acknowledges that discrimination in the sale, rental and financing of dwellings based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin is prohibited.
This brochure explains what fair housing means and lists examples of different types of discrimination. It also explains how to file a complaint and provides a list of additional resources. Fair Housing Brochure (PDF) Folleto de Vivienda Justa (PDF)
