LGBTQ Housing Discrimination - Tom Wheeler - The Wheeler Group, HomeFound Boise

Finding a decent place is one of the drivers of our health and success. But for a long time access to some housing was kept as a privilege for a certain few. In today's conversation we talk with Tom Wheeler of The Wheeler Group and HomeFound Boise about LGBTQ discrimination in housing. Tom is in the unique position of working in two real estate markets, Minnesota and Idaho. In his work, Tom has noticed that the legal protections that exist statewide in Minnesota are only present at the county level in Idaho. That has led to overt and implicit discrimination against LGBTQ people in Idaho.Tom advocates for increased LGBTQ protections in Idaho and works to educate his peers in the industry about the biases that they may be bringing into their businesses.Visit us at BottomlessCoffeeShow.comBuy a mug at the Bottomless Coffee Shop!Support our Community on PatreonFollow the show!InstagramFacebookConnect with Jerome!Instagram
