Human Relations Commission
Line 4- Starting Over, Inc. presents a Fair Chance Housing Ordinance.
The presentation will address housing discrimination against formerly incarcerated people. The Ella Baker Center polled that 80% of formerly incarcerated people report difficulties in finding housing. Further adding to this obstacle is that in the City of Riverside it is legal to deny an individual鈥檚 private housing application based on their criminal history.

The ordinance does not cover lifetime sex offenders.
