Fair Housing Center of West Michigan - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Yvonne J.

My name is Yvonne, I just wanted to take a moment and share my personal experience working with Fair Housing Center of West Michigan. In today’s world there has been many obstacles to over come especially for Black & Brown. I want you to know that you do have a voice Fair Housing Center will make sure of that. If you feel as though you were discriminated against when applying for housing say something. I stood up and said something and Fair Housing Center of West Michigan backed me up. Fair Housing put in a formal complaint on my behalf set up meetings and was an advocate for me. I was able to pick where I wanted to live. I received a settlement as well as got some polices changed for the next person that came along. I’m extremely grateful to fair Housing of West Michigan for standing up for me and they’ll do the same for you.

Sincerely,
Yvonne Jones

I do not recommend this place. Their intake specialist painted the wrong scenario on my case. I tried to contact the supervisor to make them aware that the intake specialist is interpreting my complaint in a manner I did not describe to her and I was still dismissed.

These people did not help at all. They left me hanging in a truly terrible situation. I felt completely indignified after dealing with this group of people.

Allison French has always been helpful and informative on issues I've needed assistance and guidance with involving fair housing and regulations. She always also has great insight on why things are done or said the way they are by landlords, I feel she has great experience in numerous areas and situations. I'm grateful for her assistance. She is very helpful, informative, and knowledgeable.

Not open to the public. Does not answer phone calls or return phone calls as well as emails. Fair Housing does not make it easy to talk to someone whom needs the help that is needed. My children & I have been living in a conjoined apartment building where from day one have been breathing in mold & other toxins. We were told prior to finding out where we would be living at that there was no smoking. There is definitely smoking & drugs running through the building. Staff has & will threatened tenants. The staff is supposed to be in the business of helping people but doesn't. Staff has been known & is known to walk in tenants apartments with or without notice while in the shower, on the toilet, barely dressed or even being asleep leaving us exposed. Staff will give the tenant(s) the run around & turn the tenant(s) away. Staff puts tenants in harms way constantly.
In order to have a roof over our heads then we have to deal with it.. Where does our rights matter?
