It is 2026, and all too often, we continue to see incidents of discrimination in housing. In fact, because of increasing complaints, the Fair Housing Center of Washtenaw County had to rebrand as the Fair Housing Center of Southeast & Mid Michigan about 10 years ago. Why is this still happening? WEMU's David Fair talked it over with the Fair Housing Center’s executive director, Kristen Cuhran.
