We work with tenants, homeowners, and home seekers, as well as housing professionals, companies, and social service agencies. This includes landlords, realtors, lenders, insurance agents, and more.
Complaint-Based Investigations
If you believe you’ve been discriminated against in housing based on race, color, national origin, religion, disability, age, marital status, or family status, contact us. We investigate individual complaints and can help.
Systemic Investigations
Many forms of discrimination go unnoticed. We conduct undercover investigations to expose hidden patterns — like steering or unequal loan offers — that impact entire communities. Our findings can lead to legal action and community reform.
Our Vision:
The DMFHC recognizes the importance of “home” as a component of the American dream and envisions a state and country free of housing discrimination where every individual, group, and community in Metro Denver enjoys equal housing opportunity and access in a bias free and open housing market where integrated neighborhoods are the norm, and the private and public sector guarantees civil rights in an open and barrier free community.
Our Mission
The DMFHC is dedicated to eliminating housing discrimination and promoting housing choice for all people through education, advocacy, and enforcement of fair housing law.
