Honoring 60 Years of Fair Housing as we envision a future where everyone is a Good Neighbor.
2025 marks a monumental milestone—our 60th Anniversary—and we’re celebrating by launching
The Good Neighbor Campaign. This campaign invites our community to unite to eliminate housing discrimination for all people regardless of their race, religion, national origin, sex, family status, or handicap, so that they can secure the housing they want and can afford in the neighborhood of their choice.
For six decades, we’ve worked to ensure that everyone has access to safe, stable housing, and now, more than ever, we need your support to make a lasting impact. When you join us for one of our 60th Anniversary events, volunteer, donate or sponsor, you will help create a future where housing is a right for all.
