About SWFHC
We are a non-profit, tax-exempt organization based in Tucson, Arizona which advocates and facilitates enforcement of the U.S. Civil Rights Act Title VIII: Federal Fair Housing Act. This act prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, gender, national origin, disability, or familial status of those seeking housing.

Our primary focus is to assist people with housing discrimination complaints. Assistance may include investigating and documenting an incident, allowing us to evaluate the case for future action. We will also provide outreach and education to better inform clients of their rights and how to enforce them.

These services are provided at no charge to the client.

Because of this, the Center relies on support from memberships, private donations, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Arizona State Department of Housing, and local Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. This support has allowed SWFHC to serve the communities of southern Arizona since 1988. Counties in our jurisdiction include Cochise, Coconino, Graham, Greenlee, La Paz , Pinal, Santa Cruz , Yavapai, Apache, Navajo, Gila, Maricopa, Pima , Mojave, and Yuma.
