April Marks 40 Years of Fair Housing

an article from Realtor.org, reports that REALTORS® continue to be outspoken advocates for fair housing, working with home buyers and sellers to ensure they receive equal access to affordable housing and homeownership, as America celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act this month. NAR President Dick Gaylord said, “NAR and its 1.3 million members pledge to continue our work educating home buyers and homeowners in our communities about fair housing laws, discrimination, and predatory lending practices, making the dream of homeownership viable for all Americans.” In order for Americans to access affordable financing in all areas of the country, NAR is working with Congress to make permanent the new FHA conforming loan limits, mandated by the economic stimulus package.
