Fair Employment and Housing Act

The Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) is California law that protects people from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation in employment and housing. It ensures everyone has equal access to job opportunities and housing regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, religion, or other protected characteristics. The law requires employers and housing providers to create fair, respectful environments and prohibits unfair treatment. It also provides mechanisms for individuals to file complaints if they believe they've been wronged, promoting fairness and equality in the workplace and housing markets.
