Our efforts extend to all housing and housing-related activities, regardless of whether they are funded publicly or privately. We actively take meaningful action to combat discrimination, dismantle patterns of segregation, and foster inclusive communities free from barriers that restrict access to opportunity based on protected characteristics. The City of Saint Paul is committed to safeguarding fair housing for everyone in the City. Housing is a basic civil and human right, and all people should be able to live free of discrimination while at home or in pursuit of safe, stable, and affordable housing.
