The Fair Housing Council is a committed initiative of the 9th Island Chamber of Commerce & Foundation, focused on promoting fair, accessible, and discrimination-free housing opportunities for Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) families, small business owners, and underserved residents in Southern Nevada.

We educate members on housing rights, advocate for inclusive policies, and provide resources to address barriers like affordability, zoning restrictions, and discrimination. By partnering with community organizations and policymakers, the Council works to create stable homes and neighborhoods where everyone in the 9th Island ʻohana can thrive.
