Race should never determine where you live. Yet for generations, discriminatory housing practices have restricted opportunity, reinforced segregation, and shaped who has access to thriving communities.

This , we reflect on the continued work of removing barriers, expanding housing choice, and ensuring that everyone has the freedom to call any community home.
