April is Fair Housing Month: Help Us End Housing Discrimination

 April 3, 2023      webadmin

Each April, REALTORS® commemorate the passage of the 1968 federal Fair Housing Act, which made it illegal to discriminate based on individuals’ membership in a protected class in the sale, lease, or rental of housing, and is represented in the REALTOR® Code of Ethics.

RASCW is committed to working to help end the housing discrimination that still exists today, and to protect the homeownership rights of all to build healthy and inclusive communities. This (and every) month, we ask you, our members, to join us in identifying how we can each contribute to making housing equality a reality. Please explore these resources aimed at engaging you in the education, personal growth, and work needed to achieve fair housing for our communities:
