The Town of Youngtown is committed to affirmatively furthering fair housing and ensuring that all persons are given equal access to housing and housing services.


What is Fair Housing?

The right to pursue the housing of your choice is protected by Federal and State Fair Housing Laws.  The Town of Youngtown reminds all residents of this community that it is illegal to discriminate in the sale, rental, leasing and financing of housing or land to be used for the construction of housing or in the provision of brokerage services on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status or national origin.

Discrimination can be obvious, such as:

  • Refusing to show, sell, rent or negotiate the sales price of a home
  • Charging more to buy or rent or asking for a larger security deposit
  • Insisting that you live in the “family area” of the rental complex
  • Refusing to make reasonable accommodations for disabled individuals
  • Allowing unlawful bias to affect the appraisal of property

Discrimination can also be subtle, such as:

  • Asking questions that belittle you
  • Implying that they cannot help you or suggest that you work with someone else
  • Refusing to give you services they appear to give others
  • Not calling you back or taking a long time to process your file

If you feel you have been discriminated against, please contact the Arizona Attorney General's Office for assistance:
