At NAR, we believe in a free and open marketplace, where buyers, sellers and REALTORS® can engage in housing transactions without artificial barriers or constraints. This April and every April, REALTORS® recognize Fair Housing Month to commemorate the passage of the Fair Housing Act of 1968. This landmark legislation is important today for the same reason it was fifty-seven years ago—it honors the principle that in the United States of America, no one should be denied housing because of who they are. Fair Housing Month is a time to renew our commitment to expanding homeownership opportunities and fostering inclusive communities. Thank you for joining us in advancing fair housing.
To get started, NAR provides resources and recommendations for members and associations to embrace Fair Housing Month:
