# Engaging the Disability Community in Fair Housing Planning Webinar Series

The recording and materials from the April 2022 fair housing webinars are now available. This webinar series was designed to educate disability stakeholders and fair housing partners on Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) and community engagement throughout the fair housing planning process. These webinars were sponsored by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD), Office of Fair Housing & Equal Opportunity (FHEO), and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Community Living (ACL). Participants learned how to best affirmatively further fair housing to support individuals with disabilities and engage them in the fair housing planning process.
