As we work to expand access to affordable homeownership, Habitat believes that historical context is critical to serving effectively and with intention. In that light, we have created a four-part educational series that takes a look at housing history in our region. We begin with a regional overview, and continue on to spotlight three cities across our three-county service area.
Understanding our history is a priority year-round, but at this time of year, we wanted to take a moment to do so mindfully. Each April, we mark Fair Housing Month, commemorating the 1968 passage of the Fair Housing Act. In May, we celebrate Affordable Housing Month, during which we raise awareness and galvanize action around affordable housing issues.
We invite you to read, learn, and reflect with us, and join us in committing to building a more equitable housing future.
