April is Fair Housing Month |
|
Rolling Thru Your Day On Autopilot?
Slow down and make sure you’re providing equal service to all.
April is Fair Housing Month and a great time to affirm you’re helping to build thriving, inclusive communities. Fair housing impacts all NAR members, all markets, and all neighborhoods.
Check yourself. Educate yourself. Hold yourself accountable. Because That’s Who We R®.
Our FAIR HOUSING PROCLAMATION:
-
WHEREAS: The Fair Housing Act, enacted on April 11, 1968, enshrined into federal law the goal of eliminating racial segregation and ending housing discrimination in the United States; and
-
WHEREAS: The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, and disability, and commits recipients of federal funding to affirmatively further fair housing in their communities; and
-
WHEREAS: Four Rivers AOR is committed to the mission and intent of Congress to provide fair and equal housing opportunities for all; and
-
WHEREAS: Our social fabric, the economy, health, and environment are strengthened in diverse, inclusive communities; and
-
WHEREAS: More than fifty years after the passage of the Fair Housing Act, discrimination persists, and many communities remain segregated; and
-
WHEREAS: Acts of housing discrimination and barriers to equal housing opportunity are repugnant to a common sense of decency and fairness.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Four Rivers Association of REALTORS® does hereby declare the month of April, 2021 as Fair Housing Month In Central Texas as an inclusive community committed to fair housing, and to promoting appropriate activities by private and public entities to provide and advocate for equal housing opportunities for all residents and prospective residents.
