Join NLIHC in Fair Housing Month Tweetstorm on April 30!

Apr 29, 2024

Join NLIHC and our partners around the country in a tweetstorm on April 30 calling on the Biden administration to release the final “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” (AFFH) rule immediately! Released in January 2023, the proposed AFFH rule would help communities meet a more than five-decade-old requirement to actively address systemic racism and segregation, which have often resulted from federal policies.

Between 1 and 2 pm ET on April 30, advocates are encouraged to tweet their support for the release of the rule using the following sample tweets. (Sample images are also available at: https://tinyurl.com/4mzctvtv)
