Provo City Development Services and the Utah Valley HOME Consortium seek to ensure equal access to housing for all people through education. Even when illegal discriminatory actions are not intentional, they are still illegal. If options are offered to one applicant and not to another based on their membership in a protected class, it is illegal discrimination.

If assumptions are made about potential tenants or clients - their ability to pay, their likelihood of being "good" clients, about their potential for causing problems - based on their race, disability, nationality, accent, family size, etc. it is illegal discrimination.
