Cover Story

The 50th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act is a time for the real estate industry to examine fair housing policy issues and emphasize the importance of this legislation to its agents. In our cover story, we discuss the history of the Fair Housing Act with both national and local real estate leadership — including National Association of Realtors President Elizabeth Mendenhall — who will reflect on its significance and address the future of equal housing access. We also interview agents about their own experiences or those of their clients with regard to housing discrimination in
our cover story here.
