About this Event
Fair Housing Is Still Law 2.0
You are warmly invited to join us for the upcoming Fair Housing Conference, hosted in collaboration with the City of Raleigh Fair Housing Advisory Board and community partners committed to education, access, and justice in housing.
This important gathering brings together residents, advocates, housing professionals, landlords, policymakers, and community leaders to strengthen our shared commitment to fair housing protections and equal opportunity for all.
Together, we will:
• Learn about your rights and responsibilities under the Federal and State Fair Housing Act
• Explore strategies to prevent housing discrimination
• Discuss local policies, resources, and enforcement efforts
• Hear from experts, advocates, and individuals with lived experience
• Build partnerships that promote safe, stable, and affordable housing across our community
Whether you are a tenant, homeowner, service provider, or housing professional, your voice and participation matter. Fair housing is not just a policy it is a promise of dignity, stability, and opportunity. Fair Housing Is Still Law!
