Community Impact
Security deposit walkthru
GPHA released a new security deposit walkthru video to help applicants and agencies under the program and steps.
Fair Housing trainings
| Please join us during the first 3 Thursdays in May at 1pm as we discuss various topics in fair housing. Our goal is to help consumers understand their fair housing rights, learn how to advocate for themselves or others experiencing illegal housing discrimination, and to know when and how to file a fair housing complaint. Please help us by advertising these free webinars to tenants, prospective buyers, and advocates. We will not be offering credits or certificates of attendance for these webinars but please check our website and Facebook page regularly for upcoming trainings that will offer credits and certificates. |
