Our CHAPA Fair Housing Symposium: From Research to Redress took place last week on April 27th. Information on this year’s symposium, including bios, links, slides, resources, and more, can be found on our Event Page. The event was recorded and can be found on our YouTube channel, where you can view it in full or by presentation/section.

For those who did not get a chance to respond to the survey following the Symposium please take a few minutes via this survey to give us your feedback and let us know what you are working on. As a reminder you are also invited to stay engaged with Homes For Equity.

During the month of April, we shared many resources including books, tools, articles, videos, and more on our social media. If you missed any of them, a summarized list can be found here. We hope that you check them out and share them broadly.

There is much work to do ahead of us. Please consider supporting our CHAPA legislative priorities and furthermore joining our Fair Housing Committee. This Committee meets periodically, bringing together diverse stakeholders from across the state to intentionally advance fair housing and serve as a place to share information, work on legislation, coordinate efforts, and educate ourselves throughout the year.

If you are interested in additional learning opportunities, we invite you to participate in the Confronting the History of Housing Discrimination learning session we host in partnership with JALSA, as well as our Affordable Housing 101 sessions.

We are excited to share that the Municipal Engagement Initiative Program Application will be accepting new applications this month, so stay tuned. We look forward to helping additional communities bolster coalition building efforts locally with fair housing at the forefront. As always, applications for our MEI Lite Program are accepted on a rolling basis.
