The Kentucky Commission on Human Rights has partnered with the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development this year to promote the civil rights to Fair Housing. The U.S. Civil Rights Act and the Kentucky Civil Rights Act protect people from housing discrimination based on race or color, national origin, religion, sex, and disability.
