April is Fair Housing Month
2024-04-04 - 2024-04-30
April 2024 marks 56 years since the Civil Rights Act was signed into law. As champions of Fair Housing laws, NAR fights discrimination and promotes equality through several programs and initiatives.
This April, let’s commit to breaking down barriers and fostering fair housing for all. Every person deserves a place to call home, regardless of background. Join us in advocating for #FairHousing!
Start by completing the award-winning “At Home with Diversity” (AHWD) program. AHWD is an educational opportunity designed to present a picture of the changing face of the real estate industry to real estate brokers, agents, association executives, and anyone associated with the industry. The class teaches real estate professionals how they can increase their sensitivity and adaptability to future market trends. Through NAR, members can sign up for the AHWD certification course this month. Please click here for more information.
Visit Fairhaven: A Fair Housing Simulation Fairhaven is a town every REALTOR® should visit. Online, that is.
In November 2020, NAR launched Fairhaven(link is external), a new fair housing simulation training for REALTORS® that uses the power of storytelling to help members identify, prevent, and address discriminatory practices in real estate. Inspired by real stories, this innovative online experience has agents work against the clock to sell homes in the fictional town of Fairhaven, while confronting discrimination in the homebuying process. Learners will also walk in the shoes of a homebuyer facing discrimination. The training provides customized feedback that learners can apply to daily business interactions. Click here to visit Fairhaven.
Visit nar.realtor and www.garealtor.com for other ways you can promote Fair Housing month.
