Although local meetings on SOID among local leaders and advocates in housing, civil rights, and social services began in October of 2019, the need to address Source of Income as a protected class in Charlotte’s fair housing law has never been more urgent in light of COVID-19 economic impacts. As city and regional governments respond to housing needs brought on by COVID-19, we must recognize that ensuring safe and decent housing for our most vulnerable is the most crucial element in maintaining household health.
