Fair Housing in St Charles 

Fair Housing is the right of individuals to obtain the housing of their choice, free from discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status or national origin. This right is assured by the Federal Fair Housing Act, as amended, and other legislation which makes it unlawful to discriminate in the sale, rental, financing or insuring of housing.

St Charles County, as a recipient of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds strives to continually affirmatively further fair housing within our County. This mission is to create equal housing opportunities for all persons living in America by administering laws that prohibit discrimination in housing on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or familial status.

If you have been trying to buy or rent a home or apartment and you believe that your rights have been violated, we encourage you to contact an authority for more information on your rights or to file a complaint.
