The Fair Housing Month Kick-Off & HeART & Home Opening Reception is Tuesday, April 2, from 5-7pm at the ONE Arts Center, 72 N. Champlain St. with art, food, community, a special proclamation from Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger, and lots of information about fair housing rights and resources.

Fair Housing is the right to equal opportunity in housing choice and the right to rent or buy a dwelling free from discrimination. The federal Fair Housing Act passed into law in April 1968. For more information about fair housing in Vermont, visit www.cvoeo.org/FHP.
Fair Housing Month events are made possible with the support of the Champions of Affordable Inclusive Housing and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
