About Us

The Toledo Fair Housing Center was established in 1975 by the Old West End Neighborhoood Association in response to blockbusting and other housing discrimination practices. The community organized to fight discriminatory practices that were destroying Toledo's neighborhoods; the Center was organized as an effort to stop the discriminatory practices. The Center has been a leader in fair housing enforcement, having investigated over 7,900 complaints of discrimination and recovered over $24,000,000 in damages. Its staff has conducted workshops for fair housing organizations, government agencies, and housing industry professionals. In addition, the Center's staff is regularly called upon by Congress to submit testimony regarding discriminatory housing practices.

The Toledo Fair Housing Center's mission is to eliminate practices of housing discrimination and expand equal housing opportunities. In fulfilling that mission, the Center has set many precedents and increased housing opportunities locally and nationally. A partial list of the Center's achievements include:
