MISSION
The mission of High Plains Fair Housing Center is to strengthen communities and to ensure equal access to fair housing in the region through training, education, enforcement, and advocacy.
The vision of High Plains Fair Housing Center recognizes the importance of “home” as a component of the American dream. We envision a country free of housing discrimination where each individual, group, and community enjoys equal housing opportunity and access in an open housing market. We envision a country where private and public sectors collaborate to guarantee civil rights, in an open and barrier-free community.
