April Commemorates National Fair Housing Month
By Tawanna Carver / Associate Publisher
The month of April holds great significance in the history of the United States. It's not just about the blooming flowers and the warmer weather, but also about a major step forward in the battle for equality and justice in our country.
A landmark civil rights law, the Fair Housing Act, was signed into law 55 years ago. Congressional consideration of the bill occurred years before it was passed by the federal government, but the bill failed to win a strong enough majority to pass. After Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination on April 4, 1968, then President Lyndon B. Johnson immediately called for Congress to pass the Fair Housing Act. Seven days later, the Act was passed.
The term "fair housing" refers to all people's right to live in housing that is free from discrimination on the basis of their race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, or family status. There have been several amendments to the Act since 1968, including the most recent one in 1988. As a result of the 1998 amendments, the Act now includes disability and familial status as protected characteristics, and enforcement mechanisms are strengthened.
The Act covers most types of housing, including apartments, houses, trailer parks, and homeless shelters, but it also covers practices such as redlining, steering and blockbusting.
The act of redlining is the practice of lenders not providing loans or insurance to certain neighborhoods, usually those that are home to minorities. A common form of redlining became prevalent in the 1930s when lenders used maps to determine
which areas were "high risk" for mortgage lending. In places dominated by black people or other minorities, neighborhood risk was perceived as high, while in areas dominated by white people, neighborhood risk was perceived as low. The redlining practice led to a decrease in homeownership and investment in minority communities, as well as an increase in racial segregation.
"Steering" a buyer means guiding them towards or away from certain neighborhoods based on their preferences. There are many factors that can influence steering, including race, religion, income level, and other demographics. There are some realtors who steer their clients away from undesirable or unsafe neighborhoods. Others may steer buyers towards neighborhoods that they think will be a good fit for their needs
The term "blockbusting" is used in the real estate industry
to describe a practice in which a realtor encourages a homeowner to sell their property at a lower price than what it is worth in order to take advantage of lower selling prices in predominantly white neighborhoods. A common consequence of this practice is the deterioration of neighborhoods, because new homeowners are often unable to maintain their property values and crime rates increase. A vital part of ensuring equal access to housing is advocating for equal opportunity. Each of us can do something to promote fairness. Keep yourself and others informed about fair housing laws, such as those from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). For property owners and managers, fulfilling their legal obligations is critical to making sure tenants with disabilities are accommodated and that they are not discriminated against based on certain characteristics. It is important for renters to familiarize themselves with Fair Housing Act rights. Talk to your friends and family about the importance of quality housing for everyone — spread awareness about fair housing as widely as possible.
As we celebrate the Fair Housing Act throughout April, we can learn more about its legacy. Our fight for fair housing is ongoing and we all have a role to play in bringing about a more just and equitable society. Our collective efforts can ensure that everyone has access to safe and secure housing options regardless of their age, race, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

From Coast to Coast: A Look at How REALTORS® are Helping Families Build Generational Wealth Through Homeownership
In every part of the country, REALTORS® have agreed on a common goal: we are all striving to help as many people as possible achieve the American Dream of homeownership, and to build generational wealth through homeownership. As part of the annual celebration of the Fair Housing Act of 1968, the real estate profession comes together to commemorate the passage of the Act and to reflect on housing discrimination and segregation, in the past as well as in the present. Fair housing month signifies a re-commitment to advancing equitable opportunities and expanding homeownership.
If you are unfamiliar with the Fair Housing Act, the National Association of REALTORS® reports that Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings, as well as in other housing transactions, in accordance with the Civil Rights Act of 1968. It covers racial, ethnic, religious, and sexist issues, as well as family, national origin, and disability aspects of housing transactions.
So, why is fair housing so significant to REALTORS®? The Fair Housing Act generally prohibits five different types of discrimination in housing sales and rentals:
1. To refuse to sell or rent, or to otherwise make unavailable a dwelling because of a person’s membership in a protected class.
2. Discrimination in the terms, conditions, or privileges of a sale or rental of housing, or in the provision of services in connection with the same.
3. Use of advertising that expresses a preference for or against certain persons because of their membership in a particular protected class.
4. Representations that a dwelling is not available for sale or rent, when in fact it is available.
5. Attempts to induce a person to sell or rent a dwelling by referring to the prospective entry of persons of a particular race, color, sex, religion, national origin, handicap, or familial status.
Through advocacy, innovative programming and legal guidance, the National Association of REALTORS® has advanced its commitment to fair housing. At the local level, it is key to speak with our colleagues, teammates, and partners about keeping accountable and making fair housing a priority in our businesses. America is the melting pot of the world, Texas is the melting pot of our nation, and the Central Texas area is the melting pot of our state. Together we can help all qualified buyers in our increasingly diverse community attain homeownership.
