The City of San Diego is committed to enhancing fair housing efforts by promoting fair and equivalent housing opportunities for its residents.

It is the City's policy to offer services without regard to race, color, origins, religion, nationwide origin, age, gender, marital status, familial status, source of earnings, sexual orientation or disability. This commitment encompasses all programs supplied by the City.
