April is National Fair Housing Month

The Fair Housing Act, signed on April 11, 1968, is a national law that prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing based on race, color, national origin, religion, and gender.  The Act was later amended to include protection for people with disabilities and families with children.
