Where can a person file a complaint if they believe they have been discriminated against?

A person who believes they have been discriminated against has the option to file a complaint with the Human Rights Commission or the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This is because both of these organizations are specifically tasked with enforcing fair housing laws and addressing discrimination issues related to housing.

The Human Rights Commission works at the state level to investigate complaints of discrimination, ensuring that individuals are treated fairly under the law. Similarly, HUD plays a crucial role at the federal level, overseeing compliance with the Fair Housing Act and handling discrimination cases that stem from violations of housing rights based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability.

In contrast, the Board of REALTORS and the New Hampshire Real Estate Commission primarily focus on real estate practices and licensing regulations rather than directly addressing discrimination complaints. The Attorney General's office may handle broader legal concerns but does not specifically target housing discrimination in the same dedicated manner as the Human Rights Commission or HUD. Therefore, the best avenue for an individual seeking to address discrimination in housing is to approach the Human Rights Commission or HUD.
