Join HNRI and Southcoast Fair Housing next Monday for a Fair Housing Info Session!

Fair housing rights protect you from discrimination in housing-related activities, such as renting, buying, getting a mortgage or seeking shelter.

At a time when these rights are increasingly under threat, this is a great opportunity to learn more about existing protections and actions you can take to preserve them!

A statement from the Housing Network of Rhode Island on the Rhode Island House of Representatives FY27 state budget and the inclusion of a $120 million bond to increase and preserve affordable homes:

"But what keeps me hopeful after all these years is not the illusion that abuse will suddenly disappear. It is the extraordinary resilience of survivors themselves, the advocates who continue showing up to do emotionally difficult work despite burnout and uncertainty, and the volunteers, donors, policymakers, and community members who still believe this work matters.

And perhaps most importantly, it is the growing recognition that looking away has never actually made the problem disappear."

As Sojourner House marks 50 years of service, its executive director hopes more people recognize that addressing domestic violence in Rhode Island and elsewhere is a public priority, not a private matter.
