For residents, tenants and applicants
We help Greater Sacramento residents understand their rights, document what happened and seek accountability when they face discrimination, unfair treatment or a serious housing dispute.
When to contact us
Housing discrimination or harassment
A disability accommodation or modification
A Section 8 or source-of-income problem
Retaliation for asserting your rights
A serious conflict with a landlord or manager
Possible displacement or loss of housing
A real consequence of missing information
Cherie describes how a domestic-violence survivor’s lack of information about her housing protections contributed to a devastating chain of events. Education and timely guidance can change what happens next.
What happens next
Share the key facts, important documents and any approaching deadline.
We help clarify the issue, applicable rights and the responsibilities of the parties.
Depending on the matter, we may provide guidance, advocate, intervene, document a complaint or make a referral.
Our commitment
Housing providers often understand the system, control the documents and have professional resources. Residents may face the same system alone. FHCGS helps restore balance by bringing information, preparation and a calm professional voice to the conversation.
We will not assume that every difficult experience is illegal. We will listen seriously, explain what we see and seek accountability when rights or commitments have not been honored.
Request housing help
A secure preliminary assistance form will be added before public launch. For now, contact the Council directly and do not email Social Security numbers, financial account details or unnecessary medical records.
