Housing & Fair Housing Resources

At ERA Summit, we believe that everyone deserves a safe, welcoming, and equitable path to homeownership. Finding the right home isn't just about the structure itself; it’s about ensuring your consumer rights are protected and that you are working with real estate professionals who truly see and support you.

Below are the key national and state resources designed to protect your housing rights, promote advocacy, and connect you with inclusive real estate networks.

Housing Rights & Advocacy Networks

The LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance

The leading national advocacy group dedicated to eliminating housing discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. As a partner organization with the ERA brand, the Alliance provides invaluable professional development, research on queer homeownership trends, and an extensive network of dedicated ally real estate professionals.

HUD Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO)

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) enforces federal regulations that explicitly prohibit housing discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity under the Fair Housing Act. If you believe your housing rights have been violated during a rental, purchase, or financing process, you can file a discrimination complaint directly through their portal.

New Mexico Human Rights Bureau

New Mexico state law provides robust protections under the NM Human Rights Act, making it illegal to discriminate in housing based on sexual orientation, gender, or gender identity. The Bureau investigates local housing discrimination claims and ensures fair treatment across the state.

Silver Linings: LGBTQ+ Elder Housing Resources

Managed by SAGE (Advocacy & Services for LGBTQ+ Elders), this initiative provides specialized housing resources, consumer toolkits, and discrimination protections tailored specifically to the unique needs of older queer adults looking for safe retirement or assisted living options.
