Fair Housing Forums
Silver State Fair Housing Council (SSFHC) will host several informational remote fair housing forums via Zoom. These forums are FREE and open to the public and are intended to allow individuals to learn more about their fair housing rights. Forums will focus on specific topics and will provide increased awareness of fair housing rights and provide resources for marginalized communities here in Nevada.
Please review our scheduled forums. Identify a topic of interest. Click on the Zoom link on the day/time of the forum and join SSFHC on Zoom to learn more about your fair housing rights and look at how the fair housing act protects:
