Letter to the Editor: Banning discrimination against tenants with HUD vouchers is just the beginning
(06/30/21 4:46pm)
Athens City Council recently banned source of income discrimination (SOID), making it illegal for city landlords to discriminate against tenants who pay rent with public assistance, such as Housing Choice Vouchers (HCVs) from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Rental ads declaring "No HUD" or "No Section 8" and similar statements by landlords, long common in Athens, now constitute a criminal offense.
