History

The Fair Housing Partnership was founded in 1983 to advance fair housing and equal opportunities. In 1994 FHP began a fair housing enforcement program focused on complaint-based and systemic audit-based housing discrimination testing. Since that time testing has been a key FHP activity. In 1998 FHP was awarded a contract to provide mobility counseling to Allegheny County public housing clients as part of the federally mandated Sanders Consent Decree. The Fair Housing Services Center was formed to administer Sanders-related activities. With the end of the consent decree in 2005, the Services Center ended operations. However, FHP continues to provide rental and mobility counseling and in 2005 expanded its housing counseling program by offering assistance to homebuyers.
