April is National Fair Housing Month. If you’ve never had housing instability and/or if you are a person with minimal marginalized identities, you may have never thought about housing discrimination. But until the Fair Housing Act was signed by President Lyndon Johnson in 1968, it was legal and widespread to discriminate on the basis of race, religion, gender, and family status. Today, those are illegal but landlords defy the law, harass by eviction and there's a massive shortage of affordable housing. It’s important to note that it is still legal to discriminate on the basis of size. And at SAIR, we believe that all of these need immediate legislative attention. What can you do? ➡️ ➡️ Welcome housing of various types - including higher density units and affordable housing - into your neighborhood. ➡️ ➡️ Attend town planning meetings and advocate for more affordable housing in your area. ➡️ ➡️ And make sure your local legislators know that you support fair access to housing. #fairhousingmonth #diversity #equity #inclusion #belonging #discrimination #dei #deib #unhoused #enddiscrinimation #affordablehousing

Promoting change in society starts with transforming social norms.   From legislature to civil society actors to civilians/community members, it takes collaboration and effort to reshape mindsets. However, the ripple effect starts closest to home – within families. Fostering equality and open dialogue is fundamental at the home front. With this, we set the stage for societal change.   Moreover, community-led solutions become building blocks, recognising the unique dynamics of every community and tailoring solutions that resonate with their values. Together, from legislation to family structures, we can build communities where diversity is celebrated and everyone has the opportunity to thrive. #Chrysalis #16DaysOfActivism #GenderBasedViolence #16Days2023 #InvestToPreventGBV #GBV #EndViolence #GlobalChange #PreventVAWG

A very important read & timeline here on housing policy and race, with an opportunity to dive deeper into this unfair and unjust history. As stated by Enterprise ... "to address current conditions of racial inequities in housing and place-based outcomes, we need to understand the historical context in which such conditions were created and implemented leading to the socio-economic inequities currently borne by Black, Indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC). While the timeline does not address every practice actively or passively used, the examples described reveal many of the ways that housing policies have historically and systemically enforced or facilitated racial segregation and marginalization." #housingpolicy #inequity #housinghistory https://lnkd.in/gCpRg-rk

November is Native American Heritage month. It is a time to celebrate the rich cultures, traditions, and history of the Native American people. It is also a reminder that there continues to be inequity in housing among Native American communities. According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, Native Americans have some of the worst housing needs in the U.S. Quality, affordably priced housing is a fundamental need for all and inequity in housing across minority communities is a major issue. Addressing inequity in housing is one of the reasons Comunidad Partner’s exists. Our goal is to bring institutional capital to underserved communities across the nation, providing quality housing and preserving affordability. This month, we celebrate Native Americans and their rich contributions while also recognizing that we have work to do in bridging the gap in housing availability for Native American communities. #AffordableHousing #MultiFamily #RealEstate #ESG #SocialImpact #Diversity #DEI #Inclusion
