Fair Housing New

Fair Housing

 

 

Every April, the real estate industry commemorates the passage of the Fair Housing Act of 1968, a landmark bill signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on April 11, 1968.

The Act promised to make discrimination in housing based on race, religion, national origin, and sex illegal.  In 1988, the Fair Housing Act was strengthened by the addition of two additional classes, handicapped and familial status. 

We’ve come a long way since the passage of the Fair Housing Act, but we still have work to do if we want to deliver a housing industry that prospers for all. 

It's going to take the help and commitment of all of us to ensure everyone in Nashville benefits from equal housing.

Join us this year in the fight for Fair Housing as we commemorate the 55th anniversary of the passage of the Fair Housing Act with our multi-cultural partners: The National Association of Hispanic REALTORS®, The National Association of Real Estate Brokers, the LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance and the Women's Council of REALTORS®.
