THIS MONTH WE ARE CELEBRATING. . .
April is Fair Housing Month
In 1968, the Fair Housing Act passed to prohibit discrimination in housing. Fair Housing Month is an annual initiative aimed at raising awareness about fair housing practices and advocating for equal access to housing opportunities for all individuals, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
