Many Rivers to Cross: America’s Ongoing Fair Housing Journey
Thursday, April 4, 2024 
10:00 – 11:00 a.m. 
Zoom 

As part of Fair Housing Month, SFAR’s DEI and  Education and Events Committees invite you to join with with National Association of REALTORS® VP of Policy Advocacy, Bryan Greene as he takes us on a journey through America’s Ongoing Fair Housing Journey.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act; the 50th anniversary of the passage of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA); and the passage of the 1974 Fair Housing Act Amendments, which prohibited sex discrimination in housing-related transactions. These legislative milestones helped secure equal housing opportunities for more Americans but also underscores that our quest to guarantee the civil rights of all Americans is a journey. Legislation protecting the fair housing rights of women has made it possible for women today outperform single men, two to one, in new home purchases. Yet, financial institutions’ recent embrace of special-purpose credit programs authorized by ECOA decades ago remind us that a long history of discrimination makes such programs necessary today.
