Fundraiser Story

Louisiana Fair Housing Action Center, is under significant threat because of funding cuts from the Trump Administration/DOGE. This organization has existed for 30 years and has fought many significant battles to ensure that all Louisianans can access safe and affordable housing free from discrimination. We also engage in policy advocacy at the state and local level, and have been a part of coalitions that won a right to an attorney in eviction cases in New Orleans, a state law protecting tenants from illegal evictions after natural disasters, anti-retaliation protections against tenants who make code enforcement complaints for substandard housing, and a dedicated housing trust fund in the New Orleans city budget. Every year, New Orleans-area nonprofits participate in an event called GiveNOLA Day, a one-day fundraising event on May 6. Any amount at all is helpful to reach our fundraising goal!

About the Organization

The Louisiana Fair Housing Action Center (LaFHAC) is a nonprofit civil rights organization established in 1995 to eradicate housing discrimination. LaFHAC's work throughout Louisiana includes educational offerings, free legal services for victims of housing discrimination, policy advocacy, and foreclosure prevention counseling. LaFHAC is dedicated to fighting discrimination because it is an illegal and divisive force that perpetuates poverty and segregation, and limits access to opportunity.
