About this Event
ARE YOU A RENTER?
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOUR HOUSING PROBLEM HAPPENED TOMORROW?
Your landlord isn't fixing a serious problem.
Your reasonable accommodation request is questioned or denied.
Your housing authority makes a decision you don't understand.
You receive a notice saying you owe money.
An important conversation happens by phone — and you have no written record.
WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT?
Would you know:
• What to document?
• What to put in writing?
• What records to save?
• What deadlines matter?
• What questions to ask?
• What happens after you file a fair housing complaint?
• What happens after a reasonable accommodation is approved?
• When you may need qualified legal or advocacy assistance?
FAIR HOUSING RIGHTS: FROM PAPER TO REAL LIFE “APPROVED DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN PROVIDED.”
Join DFOWW Incorporated for a practical housing education workshop designed for people who are actually dealing with housing — not just people who work in housing.
RENTERS • SECTION 8 PARTICIPANTS • HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PARTICIPANTS • PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES • SENIORS • CAREGIVERS • FAMILIES

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
This workshop focuses on practical housing situations, including:
• Reasonable accommodations
• Landlord-tenant disputes
• Fair housing complaints and investigations
• Housing documentation
• Important timelines and deadlines
• Documenting telephone conversations
• Following up in writing
• What records to keep
• What happens after an accommodation is approved
• Housing-related expenses and financial losses
• What to do when you disagree with a decision
• Finding qualified legal or advocacy assistance
WHY THIS MATTERS
You cannot always control what a landlord, property owner, or housing authority does. But you can become better prepared to document what happens, communicate in writing, organize your records, understand the process, and know what questions to ask.
DON'T WAIT UNTIL YOU HAVE A HOUSING PROBLEM TO LEARN HOW TO RESPOND.

IMPORTANT

Our goal is to help participants become better informed, better organized, and better prepared. DON'T WAIT UNTIL A HOUSING CRISIS TO LEARN WHAT TO DO NEXT.
