Fair Housing & Equal Opportunity
Providence Downs Guide is committed to the letter and the spirit of federal, state, and local fair housing law.
Our commitment
Providence Downs Guide supports the principles of the U.S. Fair Housing Act and equal opportunity in housing. Every buyer, seller, tenant, and prospective resident is welcomed and treated equally, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, source of income, military or veteran status, or any other class protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.
What this means in practice
- All community, home, and neighborhood information on this Site is offered to every visitor on the same terms.
- Referrals to trusted local experts are made based on the visitor's stated needs — not on any protected characteristic.
- We do not steer visitors toward or away from any home, street, or neighborhood based on the composition of its residents.
- Photography and copy on the Site is not intended to imply any preference, limitation, or discrimination based on a protected class.
Federal fair housing law
The federal Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 3601 et seq.) prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings and in other housing-related transactions. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) enforces the Act.
