Fair Housing Month 2023 Proclamation Tour

WE EXCEEDED OUR GOAL OF 55 GOVERNMENT BODIES CLAIMING APRIL

AS FAIR HOUSING MONTH!

April was Fair Housing Month! If you have been following along with us, you know that April 11th marked the 55th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act!

BAR Advocacy had a goal of getting 55 local governments to declare April as Fair Housing month and recommit themselves to fighting off discriminatory practices in housing. We are pleased to report that to date we have received 57 Fair Housing proclamations, with all 6 counites of our jurisdiction joining 51 cities in celebrating this milestone.

Thank you so much to the BAR Members who made it priority to joined us on this large scale and important project.
