Fair Housing Statement
Campbell County Department of Housing’s policy is to comply fully with all federal, state, and local nondiscrimination laws, and with rules and regulations governing fair housing and equal opportunity in housing and employment. When more than one civil rights law applies to a situation, the laws will be read and applied together. Any applicable state laws or local ordinances and any legislation protecting individual rights of tenants, applicants, or staff that may subsequently be enacted also apply. Campbell County Department of Housing shall not deny any family or individual the opportunity to make application for or receive assistance from the Housing Choice Voucher Program due to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, familial status, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status.
How to File a Fair Housing Complaint

If you believe that you have been a victim of a fair housing violation you may use the “Are You a Victim of Housing Discrimination?” booklet to file a written complaint to a Fair Housing office, or you may also file a complaint online to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) at the website listed below.

Reasonable Accommodation
A reasonable accommodation is an adjustment made to a rule, policy, practice, or service that allows a person with a disability to have equal access to the HCV program. For example, reasonable accommodations may include making home visits or allowing recertifications by mail, extending the voucher term, or approving an exception payment standard in order for a participant to lease an accessible dwelling unit. Requests for accommodations will be considered reasonable if they do not create an “undue financial and administrative burden” or result in a “fundamental alteration” in the nature of the program or service offered. If you or a family member requires a specific accommodation in order to fully utilize our programs and services, please contact our office at 859 261 5200 or TDD/TTY 1 800 545 1833, Ext. 947.
