Congratulations to the Housing Rights Center on settling this Voucher Discrimination case for $197,500. Defendants also agreed to implement policies at their rental properties that promote fair housing practices. Recent testing in Los Angeles County found that Housing Choice voucher holders were explicitly discriminated against a whopping 70% of the time. Refusing to accept vouchers is illegal and must end. Congratulations to Rodney Leggett, Zack Frederick, Chancela Al-Mansour and ICLC Alum Javier Beltran. The complaint that HRC filed in Ventura Superior Court is attached. Kenneth Trujillo-Jamison, Aaron May, Aaron Carr, Kevin Kish, David Smith, Patti Prunhuber, Grant H., Grant Michaelson, Nisha Vyas. #Section8 #HousingJustice
