Founded in 1989, the Massachusetts Fair Housing Center (MFHC) is the oldest private organization devoted solely to fair housing advocacy in Massachusetts. MFHC is dedicated to eliminating systemic housing discrimination and creating inclusive communities in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. MFHC serves Worcester, Franklin, Hampshire, Hampden, Berkshire counties, and parts of Middlesex county, and is part of a consortium of fair housing organizations serving the entire state.When you donate to MFHC, you're supporting MFHC's work to eliminate housing discrimination through community legal education and outreach, housing mobility counseling, civil rights investigations, individual legal representation, impact litigation, and public policy advocacy. Through these services, MFHC strives to ensure disabled people enjoy equal access to housing, create lead-safe housing opportunities, protect survivors of domestic violence and hate crimes, provide greater housing opportunities for recipients of rental assistance or housing subsidies and help victims of housing discrimination preserve their tenancies and prevent homelessness or access the housing of their choice.

Your gift helps protect the right to fair, safe housing across Western and Central Massachusetts. MFHC is here to meet the moment and do whatever it takes to create access to safe, affordable housing in Western and Central Massachusetts. We take up the mantle for the community, when we need to. We are currently putting our organization out in the public space to ensure that all fair housing organizations have access to critical Federal funds they need to uphold the Fair Housing Act.Together, we can push for access to necessary services for the community and beyond. Your donation will go towards free legal services for folks who are discriminated against when finding or in housing. You can help someone find affordable housing that they can stay in long-term and help spread the word around the community on what your rights are!
