April is Fair Housing Month!

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.
