The purpose of the federal Fair Housing Act of 1968 was to prevent racial discrimination in housing. Still, Hispanics encounter discrimination when seeking living quarters, especially in the private rental markets. Brown-Graham discusses the extent of housing discrimination, what recourse an individual has under current law, and options a local government has to see these laws are followed.

Abstract:
In this article the author is discussing what happen senior members of the LGBTQ+ community experience when going into assisted living situations. Many seniors in the community talk about having to go back into the “closet,” meaning hiding their queer identity, in fear of being discriminated by their care staff. The article also discusses that Les Geller helped found SAGE, Services and Advocacy for GLBT Elders, in New York but now is helping create a chapter in Raleigh. This is an attempt to help find affordable housing services for queer elders.
