The commission's extensive advertising campaigns have attracted a number of new clients. The commission also provides numerous educational seminars for local housing providers, realtors, and community members. In addition, it instituted a novel program intended to teach the next generation of homeowners important lessons about tolerance. Partnering with Harrison Elementary School in Fayette County, the commission conducted five diversity awareness programs for students and supplied them with information on fair housing to take home to their parents. One of the major benefits of the program is that students learn the importance of human rights activism and fair housing.
Discriminatory practices hurt people and wreak havoc in communities.
The commission is dedicated to helping people to obtain fair housing regardless of their race, disability, or gender. Children are our future, and educating them against bigotry is a step in the right direction.
