"[Repairs and retrofits] are beneficial to the client, but it’s also beneficial to the community as well. It’s not just for older adults and people with disabilities. It’s what’s best for all of us.” https://t.co/FX80fUrYLQ

No matter a person's sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity, all people are entitled to fair housing. The Fair Housing Act also protects survivors of domestic violence and prohibits sexual harassment in housing. Check out these graphics to learn more about your rights.

On this day in 1968, the Civil Rights Act of 1968 was published. This included protections against housing discrimination. This @natfairhouse documentary illustrates how historic this moment was in our not-so-distant past.
