Written By Danielle Payton

The Equal Rights Center (ERC) is a national non-profit civil rights organization dedicated to promoting equal opportunity in housing, employment, and access to public accommodations and government services through education, research, testing, advocacy, and enforcement.

The ERC is currently conducting testing to determine whether housing providers in various geographic locations are discriminating on the basis of national origin. Drinker Biddle & Reath’s Barbara McDowell High Impact Pro Bono Initiative has teamed with the ERC to prepare a public report highlighting key issues and concerns with respect to national origin discrimination.
