Our Fair Housing Arts Contest is one excellent event we use to highlight fair housing! As students of all ages work on their entries, they learn more than the basics of fair housing law — they think about how everyone benefits when communities and individuals respect and celebrate diversity.

This years theme will be "Fair Places For All Faces."
