Every April, REALTORS® commemorate the passage of the Fair Housing Act of 1968 with events and education that shine a light on housing discrimination and segregation, and a recommitment to expanding equal access to housing. As we near the end of this month, we wanted to pass on a few resources to help you continue making a positive impact on our industry in April and beyond.
