HAPPY FAIR HOUSING MONTH!
It's that time of year again- time to reflect on the progress we've made to ensure quality, affordable housing for all!
The Fair Housing Act makes it illegal to discriminate in the sale or rental of housing based on race, color, sex, religion, national origin, familial status or disability.
This year’s Fair Housing Month theme is “Our Work Today Defines Our Tomorrow,†spotlighting HUD’s current enforcement and education and outreach efforts and the work of its fair housing partners are helping to foster sustainable, inclusive communities of opportunity for future generations. You can view and share the new campaign video here!
Want to learn more? Visit HUD's website or download a copy of their "Fair Housing Equal Opportunities for All" brochure. Looking for a way to celebrate in Buffalo? Take a look at the Erie County Fair Housing Partnership's event listings!
Your contributions can help support Fair Housing. To make a contribution to support fair and affordable housing in Buffalo's Lower West Side, visit our website.
