The reason why these laws are so important is that housing plays a major role in defining a person’s quality of life and is fundamental to our success. Our homes guarantee our family’s security, ensure our personal contentment, and dictate our connection to community and access to opportunities. Where a person lives affects their social, cultural, educational and many other community amenities such as: schools, transportation, employment, medical services, retail services, recreation, entertainment and much more. Housing is such a basic need that if a person does not have a safe and stable place to live, they are not going to be successful in any other area.
