Unlocking Homeownership Since 1979

Fair housing is more than a list of dos and don’ts, rights and penalties, and mandatory continuing education. As stewards of the right to own, use and transfer private property, fair housing protects our livelihood and business as REALTORS® and depends on a free, open market that embraces equal opportunity. Fair Housing Makes US Stronger.

An Overview of the Fair Housing Act

​

Join the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR)’s commemoration of the Fair Housing Act and learn about the law, how it makes our industry and country stronger, and the work that is still to be done. We ask all members of the REALTOR® family to join us in this commemoration and stand together with us in this commitment.

51st Anniversary of the Fair Housing Act

​

In 2018 the National Association of REALTORS® joined with its partners and allies in a year-long commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Fair Housing Act. The commemoration focused on three key elements of Fair Housing:

​

• Acknowledging the organization’s past role in the fight for fair housing;

• Understanding how we as a nation are constantly improving our commitment to fair housing; and

• Embracing REALTORS®’ role at the forefront of advancing fair housing, leading efforts to address community fair housing issues.
