Dallas has been a trailblazer in fair housing since its first ordinance in 1971. Over the years, the city expanded protections to include sex, disability, and familial status. The Fair Housing Office, established in 1989, received HUD certification in 1995, proving Dallas's commitment to upholding federal fair housing standards.

*Fair Housing Office: Championing Equality*

The Fair Housing Division is dedicated to promoting housing choice and equal opportunities for all, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, familial status, or sexual orientation.
