In the spirit of Fair Housing Month, at ORRA, we go beyond transactional excellence, striving to cultivate a community of informed and empowered REALTORS® well-versed in all facets of homeownership. Fair Housing Month emerges as a pivotal moment, not merely to spotlight fair housing practices but to illuminate the broader spectrum of housing inclusivity.
Celebrating Fair Housing Month
Celebrating Fair Housing Month, ORRA proudly forges a dynamic partnership with the Orlando Regional REALTOR® Foundation, our nonprofit arm. Together, we embark on a mission to equip our REALTORS® with the tools to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of affordable housing, fostering an environment where everyone can thrive.
This commemorative Fair Housing Month serves as a poignant reminder to recommit to our nation's foundational principles, ensuring that every individual enjoys equitable access to safe and affordable housing.
53rd Anniversary of the Fair Housing Act of 1968
As we observe the 53rd anniversary of the Fair Housing Act of 1968, the law's profound purpose echoes through time—to eradicate housing discrimination and dismantle entrenched patterns of racial, ethnic segregation, and economic disparities.
The Fair Housing Act stands as a vigilant guardian, protecting individuals in their pursuit of housing-related activities, be it buying or renting a home, securing a mortgage, seeking housing assistance, or engaging in other pertinent endeavors. In the spirit of progress, new federal legislation addressing appraisals has recently been proposed, reflecting the dynamic nature of our housing landscape.
Why Fair Housing Matters to REALTORS® This Month & Beyond
Fair Housing Month is more than a reminder—it’s a call to action. For REALTORS®, it’s about upholding the right of every buyer and renter to be treated fairly, without bias or barriers.
Real estate professionals play a key role in shaping equitable communities. Fair housing isn’t just a legal standard—it’s a shared commitment to integrity, inclusivity, and equal opportunity in every transaction.
