Fair Housing Contact Service (FHCS) is a local, non-profit, community-based organization that addresses issues of housing discrimination, tenant-landlord concerns, and provides housing counseling for home buyers and home owners. Our mission is to prevent and eliminate housing discrimination and promote equal housing opportunity.
FHCS was established to support and encourage freedom of residence in the greater Akron region so that all persons, regardless of race, religion, national origin, sex, family status, or handicap, can secure the housing they want and can afford in the neighborhood of their choice.
Fair Housing Contact Service provides assistance to individuals pursuing legal rights and remedies related to fair housing, offers housing assistance and counseling, provides community education, promotes community involvement, performs research in the area of housing, and assists the professional housing industry in designing, implementing and evaluating programs for affirmative action towards an open housing market in the greater Akron region.

The extremely diverse neighborhood is home to seniors, young families, artists, educators, and students of all demographics.

Reference assistance, computers and computer classes, WiFi, copiers, scanning, and faxing round out the services provided within the library.
