The Housing Research & Advocacy Center's mission is to promote fair housing and diverse communities, and to work to eliminate housing discrimination in Northeast Ohio by providing effective research, education, and advocacy. The Housing Center was established in 1983 as the Metropolitan Strategy Group, and changed the name in 2003 to better reflect the organization's mission. The Housing Research & Advocacy Center was founded as a "brown bag" luncheon group of local fair housing/civil rights advocates who shared a goal of expanding housing opportunities for residents of Northeast Ohio regardless of their race, religion, gender, ethnicity, national origin, familial status, or disability.The Housing Research & Advocacy Center has significantly grown since its inception in 1983. While The Housing Center continues to advocate for programs that promote fair housing, the scope of the agency has changed from a grass-roots coalition of community groups, to a focused fair housing agency. The Housing Research & Advocacy Center's general mission remains the same: To ensure, through research, educational programs, public policy and enforcement activities, that all residents are guaranteed equal access to housing.
