Homes RI: Source of Income Signed Into Law

A HISTORIC VOTE!

After both chambers of RI's General Assembly voted to end housing discrimination based on lawful source of income, Governor Dan McKee signed the Fair Housing Practices Act! This moment would not be possible without you, the advocates that stayed true to this cause for years. When advocates work together and support each other, we win.

Homes RI would like to take this time to thank the sponsors of the bills (2021-H 5257 and 2021-S 0561)—especially Chairwoman Anastasia Williams, Senator Meghan Kallman, and former Senator Harold Metts!
