Everyone can learn something new about how Housing discrimination affects real people. A Matter of Place video story depicts three different stories of housing discrimination. Warning there is some brief offensive language.
According to the Census Bureau’s American Survey estimates, a little more than half of occupied housing units in the City of Pacific Grove are renter occupied. It is estimated that more than 35 % of renters pay more than 30 % their household income to rent. The Housing Division receives most housing discrimination complaints from renters. A goal of the City's Housing program is to raise awareness on housing discrimination and educate individuals and the community on the importance of fair housing and equal opportunities for all.
