NFHA Celebrates Fair Housing Month
It’s National Fair Housing Month! The sobering reality is more than 4 Million instances of housing discrimination occur every year, and the vast majority are unreported. When Americans are denied equal access to housing, it fuels unequal living standards, poverty, housing instability, and much more. Our team at the National Fair Housing works to eliminate housing discrimination and ensure equitable housing opportunities for all people and communities.
During the month of April, we will host events and share information that shines a light on housing discrimination and segregation, continuing our ongoing efforts to build a more equitable society.
