Fair Housing and Landlord Services

The mission of the City of Newark Fair Housing Program is to be a leader in creating housing choice and providing opportunities for inclusive patterns of housing occupancy to all residents of the City of Newark, regardless of race, religious creed, color, sexual orientation, national origin, sex, ancestry, familial status, veteran status, or physical or mental impairment. It shall be our objective to ensure that new and ongoing programs and policies affirmatively advance fair housing, promote equity, and maximize choice.
