Fair Housing Partnerships The FHIP award from HUD provided DHCD an opportunity to seek and partner with local non-profit organizations to bring about greater awareness of fair housing laws, rules, and regulations to targeted communities. In this first year, DHCD partnered with the Central American Resource Center (CARECEN), a 20-year-old, non-profit organization based in the District which provides education, employment, immigration, housing counseling, and legal advocacy to the Salvadorian and Latino community in the District. DHCD also partnered with Boat People, S.O.S (BPSOS), a national organization with a local office which serves the needs of the growing Vietnamese community. They provide counseling in various domestic, social, and professional aspects of daily living to Vietnamese refugees. To learn more about your fair housing rights, or schedule training for your organization or tenant association in Spanish or Vietnamese, please contact: CARECEN for Spanish or (202) 328-9799 and the Boat People, S.O.S. at (202) 234-3598 for Vietnamese.
