Who We Are
Fair Housing Change Alliance (FHCA) is a grassroots, survivor-led organization committed to advancing fair housing, disability rights, tenant advocacy, and systemic accountability. Founded through lived experience and community advocacy, FHCA works to support tenants, raise awareness, and promote safe, accessible, and dignified housing for all.
Our Mission
Fair Housing Change Alliance (FHCA) is dedicated to advancing the cause of fair housing through advocacy, education, and systemic reform. Our mission is to empower individuals and communities by promoting equal access to safe, affordable housing for all, regardless of race, disability, or socioeconomic status. We strive to create lasting change by raising awareness of tenant rights, fighting housing discrimination, and working to dismantle systemic barriers that perpetuate housing inequality. Through strategic partnerships and grassroots efforts, we aim to inspire a collective movement for a just and inclusive housing landscape.
Our Vision
Our vision is a world where every individual has access to safe, affordable, and equitable housing, free from discrimination and bias. We envision communities where diversity is celebrated, and housing policies reflect the principles of fairness, justice, and inclusion. By influencing policy, changing hearts and minds, and empowering individuals with the knowledge and tools to advocate for themselves, we aim to create a future where housing is not a privilege, but a right for all.
Our History
FHCA grew from lived experience and community-based advocacy into an initiative focused on fair housing, disability rights, public education, and accountability. Its work includes community outreach and efforts to make public institutions more responsive to the people they serve.
Our Programs
Our educational and advocacy initiatives include the Pioneer Valley Epilepsy Coalition, originally established as the Springfield Epilepsy Coalition in 2019. The coalition advances epilepsy education, awareness, and community engagement as an initiative of FHCA.
