Cal. Civ. Code § 215.110
The commission shall require that occupancy of all housing financed or otherwise assisted under sections 215.010 to 215.250 be open to all persons regardless of race, national origin, religion, or creed, and that contractors and subcontractors engaged in the construction or rehabilitation of such housing shall provide equal opportunity for employment, without discrimination as to race, national origin, religion or creed.

Plain English

Missouri Revised Statutes § 215.110 establishes that any housing project financed or assisted under the state's housing program (sections 215.010 to 215.250) must be open to all people without regard to race, national origin, religion, or creed. The rule also extends to the construction and rehabilitation side, requiring that contractors and subcontractors on those projects offer equal employment opportunity free from the same forms of discrimination. This provision applies both to who may live in the housing and to who may work to build or renovate it.

For Property Managers

Property owners and managers operating housing financed or assisted under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 215.110 are generally expected to maintain open-occupancy policies that do not screen, reject, or otherwise treat applicants differently based on race, national origin, religion, or creed. Operators who engage contractors or subcontractors for construction or rehabilitation work on such properties are also expected to ensure those parties follow equal-employment-opportunity requirements. Maintaining clear, documented non-discrimination policies in both tenant selection and contractor engagement is consistent with compliance under this provision.

For Tenants

Under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 215.110, residents and applicants for housing financed or assisted through Missouri's state housing program have a right to be considered without discrimination based on race, national origin, religion, or creed. If a person believes they have been denied housing in a covered development on one of these grounds, general enforcement paths may include filing a complaint with the relevant state housing commission or a fair housing organization, or consulting a tenant-rights group familiar with Missouri housing law. Documenting communications and decisions related to a housing application or tenancy can be important when pursuing any of these avenues.
