Housing Rights, Inc. was founded in 1979 by a law student who could not find housing because she had young children. We are committed to seeing that that does not happened to others. Our mission is to fight for equal access to housing for everyone by eliminating barriers to housing choice such as discrimination, sub-standard housing, ignorance, apathy and malice in order to eradicate illegal housing discrimination, prevent evictions/foreclosures and encourage diversity in our neighborhoods.
The Mount Diablo Housing Opportunity Center opened in Concord in 2008. The Center is dedicated to preventing housing discrimination and ensuring access to affordable housing to residents of Concord. The Center is co-located and partners with Monument Community Partnership.
