Fair Housing is a Right—Not a Privilege
Discrimination has no place in housing. Everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to live—regardless of race, religion, gender, disability, family status, or national origin.

Housing is a human right. It's time to stand up, speak out, and support fair housing for all.

If you need any assistance, please feel free to call and speak with a HUD-Certified Housing Counselor at (559) 487-1500 or email [email protected] for any housing-related needs.

Did you know you are protected if you speak up about workplace safety?

Cal/OSHA conducts inspections at workplaces and responds to complaints to ensure employers follow the state’s workplace safety and health laws.

Call FIRM at 559-487-1500 to speak with a staff if you have questions about your workplace rights or need support on how to file a claim.
