APRIL MARKS 40 YEARS OF FAIR HOUSING
As America celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act, REALTORS continue to be
outspoken advocates, working with home buyers & sellers to ensure they receive equal access
to affordable housing & ownership.
The Fair Housing Act protects the basic right of all Americans to pursue the dream of home-
ownership free from discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status & national origin, & REALTORS have a strong committment to partner with diverse real estate
partners, education & grant & awards programs.
Pushing for flexible FHA, the National Association of Realtors is working with Congress to make
permanent the new FHA conforming loan limits, mandated by the stimulus package, so that
Americans can access affordable financing in all areas of the country. REALTORS also continue
to push for a stronger, more flexdible FHA program, to give more first-time buyers access to
affordable & safe financing options.
