Section 8 apartments near the MATA Route 34 — Central Avenue
MATA Route 34 runs Central Avenue east from Downtown Memphis through the Medical District, Overton Park, University of Memphis area, into East Memphis.
No source-of-income protection in effect
Memphis has a Fair Housing Ordinance that lists source of income as a protected class, BUT the ordinance has NO private right of action — only the City of Memphis Office of Fair Housing can enforce it, individual voucher-holders cannot sue. NAACP LDF's 2024 "Bad Housing Blues" report documents widespread ongoing SOI discrimination in Memphis despite the ordinance. Legal recourse for voucher-holders here is effectively minimal.
General information, not legal advice. For help with a specific case, use HUD’s fair-housing resources.
