This virtual conference features presenters who will explore how we can best promote affirmative policies to advance fair housing and racial equity. The event will create a space for community members, non-profits, advocates, real estate professionals, housing providers, and municipal leaders and staff to address pressing fair housing issues affecting communities in the Bay Area and strategies to re-energize fair housing initiatives, including affirmatively furthering fair housing.

Together, we can build on the legacy of the leaders of the civil rights movement to create a more just and equitable society. Furthering fair housing means advancing equity, not just in terms of housing choice, but also as it relates to all opportunities related to where you live, including employment, transportation, education, health, and access to financial markets. 

For more information, to request a scholarship, or for any special needs, contact Education Director, Adriana Ames at adriana@fairhousingnorcal.org.
