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.
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.
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.
Special thank you to our Sponsor for the Event:
