Fair Housing Resources

Fair Housing Resources:

What is fair housing?

Ensuring that people with similar income levels in the same housing market have the same range of choices available to them despite their protected class status.  Discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings and other housing-related transactions is prohibited.  Per California Assembly Bill 686 (effective January 1, 2029), all jurisdictions in California have a duty to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing (AFFH).  Del Mar’s Housing Element certifies the City will AFFH.
