It's time to stand up for equal housing opportunities! Join us in celebrating Fair Housing Month and advocating for fair treatment for all.
It's time to celebrate Fair Housing Month on April 1! This month-long observance was first established in 1968, as a way to commemorate the passing of the Fair Housing Act – a law that prohibits discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, and family status. This important holiday serves as a reminder of the progress we've made towards creating equal housing opportunities for all and the work that still needs to be done. So let's come together and celebrate diversity and equality during this special month!
Invite a local housing expert or representative to come speak about fair housing laws and rights. This is a great way to educate yourself and others about this important topic.
Many organizations and communities hold events during Fair Housing Month. Attend one of these events to learn more about fair housing and show your support.
Find a local fair housing organization and offer your time and skills to help with their mission. This is a great way to make a difference and support fair housing.

Gather friends and family for a fair housing themed event, such as a movie night with a film that addresses fair housing issues or a potluck with dishes from different cultures to celebrate diversity in housing.
Fair Housing Month raises awareness about the importance of fair and equal access to housing for everyone, regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation, or disability. It helps to combat discrimination in the housing market and promote diversity and inclusivity.
During this month, there are often events and programs held to educate people about their housing rights and the laws that protect them from discrimination. This is crucial in ensuring that individuals understand their rights and can take action if they encounter unfair treatment in the housing market.
Fair Housing Month also helps bring attention to ongoing issues in the housing market, such as gentrification, affordable housing shortages, and homelessness. By raising awareness and advocating for change, we can work towards creating more inclusive and equitable communities for all.
