Fair Housing
Harrison County’s Fair Housing Program is administered by the Harrison County Grant Office. The goal of the Fair Housing Program is to promote and ensure equal housing opportunities to Harrison County residents. We network with area real estate and lending providers to ensure that housing markets are open to all without bias. We believe all residents should be aware of their fair housing rights. We provide information and referral for landlord-tenant issues and situations involving possible housing discrimination. You may call the office at 740-942-2027; Mon – Thurs; 8am-4pm or refer to the following links which will provide more information on Harrison County’s Fair Housing Program:
