What's Next for Fair Housing

Fair Housing at 50 - Expanding Access to Opportunity

Fair housing benefits everyone. During the 50th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act, the National Association of REALTORS® reflected on the progress made—and the work that still needs to be done—to end discrimination in housing markets and to promote housing opportunity for all. This framing paper and recommendations for action include a synthesis of recent research on housing and neighborhood opportunity, as well as analysis of results from REALTOR® focus groups on the topic of fair housing and housing discrimination. It is clear that the National Association of REALTORS®, local REALTOR® associations and REALTOR® members across the country have the opportunity and responsibility to increase efforts to support diversity and inclusivity in the real estate market.
