🏘 Celebrating National Fair Housing Month: A Legacy of Equality 🏘 This April, we honor the 56th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act, a pivotal moment in American history that continues to shape our nation’s commitment to equality and justice. As we observe National Fair Housing Month, let’s reflect on the progress made and the journey ahead. The Fair Housing Act, signed into law on April 11, 1968, by President Lyndon B. Johnson, marked a watershed moment in civil rights, prohibiting discrimination in housing transactions based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, and familial status. This act was not just legislation; it was a declaration that every American deserves the opportunity to secure a home without facing barriers of prejudice. The road to fair housing was paved with the tireless efforts of activists and leaders who fought against deeply entrenched discrimination. The act’s passage came in the wake of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, serving as a testament to his vision of an equitable society. As we celebrate this month, let’s also acknowledge the work that remains. The theme for this year’s Fair Housing Month, “Fair Housing: The ‘Act’ in Action,” reminds us that laws are only as powerful as their enforcement and our collective will to uphold them. Join me in commemorating this significant month by reaffirming our dedication to advancing fair housing for all. Together, we can ensure that the promise of the Fair Housing Act is not just remembered but realized in communities across the nation. #FairHousingMonth #Equality #CivilRights #Inclusion

New York Times bestselling author Richard Rothstein and co-author Leah Rothstein compliments The Watson, one of WinnCompanies’ most inclusive apartment communities, in his latest publication “Just Action.” Located in Quincy, MA, The Watson is a pioneering workforce housing property where low, middle- and higher-income residents co-exist in a socially cohesive environment.  Rothstein, whose book “The Color of Law” confronted segregation myths, says of the community: “A healthy community that can sustain a common national identity is one where affluent, middle- class, working- class, and low- income families of all races and ethnicities have access to the same resources and whose children attend the same schools. This should be the aspiration of civil rights activists… The (WinnCompanies’) Watson design … suggests the potential of truly mixed- income, mixed- race housing. - Richard Rothstein and Leah Rothstein, Just Action: How to Challenge Segregation Enacted Under the Color of Law.

April is #FairHousingMonth, a time to reflect on and reaffirm our commitment to fighting housing discrimination. Enacted in 1968, shortly after the tragic loss of Martin Luther King Jr., the Fair Housing Act was a landmark in our journey toward creating inclusive communities free from discrimination. This year, we celebrate 56 years of progress since this critical civil rights law was signed into action by President Lyndon Johnson. The Fair Housing Act stands against discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, and familial status, embodying the promise of equality in our communities. The theme for this year, as announced by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), is “Fair Housing: The ‘Act’ in Action.” 🏠💼 HUD is rolling out a series of online events and training to deepen our understanding and practice of fair housing principles. Stay tuned for: - Online toolkits and resources - The AFFH-T Data and Mapping Tool - Workshops on preventing discriminatory harassment in housing - Guidance on Fair Housing obligations and rights Let's continue to work together to ensure everyone has access to fair and equitable housing. 🤝 AMERICAN TITLE TRUST www.amtitletrust.com +1 888-848-5320 | order@amtitletrust.com LAKE NONA | MIAMI | WESTON | ORLANDO | TAMPA In-person and remote closings throughout Florida.
