Joseph Robinette Biden, Proclamation 10177 - National Fair Housing Month… (2021)
“ I call upon the people of this Nation to help secure freedom and justice for every American by taking action to fulfill the promise made by the Fair Housing Act to ensure everyone has free and fair housing choice. ”
Joseph Robinette Biden, Proclamation 10177 - National Fair Housing Month… (2021)
“ Access to quality housing is about more than having a roof over your head—it is the foundation for achieving better educational, employment, and health outcomes, as well as one of the most important ways that families build wealth that they can pass along across the generations. The Fair Housing Act was created at a time when Federal and State policies held that dream at arm’s length from far too many Black, Brown, Native, and Asian American families through the insidious practices of redlining and lending discrimination. ”
Joseph Robinette Biden, Proclamation 10177 - National Fair Housing Month… (2021)
“ My Administration will continue our efforts to close persistent racial gaps in wages, housing, credit, lending opportunities, and access to higher education—gaps that, if closed, would add an estimated $5 trillion in gross domestic product in the American economy over the next 5 years. We are committed to doing all we can to end unlawful housing discrimination and advance equity for all underserved populations, fulfill the full promise of the Fair Housing Act, and put the American dream within reach of all Americans. ”
