The DC Office of Human Rights (OHR), DC Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and the Equal Rights Center will host the District’s 8th Annual Fair Housing Symposium from 9 am to 4 pm on Tuesday, April 28. The event will be held at the True Reformer Building at 1200 U Street, NW.

This year’s theme is “Yes We Can! Prevent Housing Discrimination.” Three panel discussions will call attention to issues relevant to advancing equality and fairness in housing: “Accessibility in New Construction is Your Right,” “The Face of Housing Discrimination: Examining the Impediments to Fair Housing for Immigrants,” and “Foreclosure and Predatory Lending: The Fair Housing Link.”

The symposium is open to all District residents as well as community-based organizations, residential rental professionals, residential lending professionals, fair housing advocates, government and non-government direct service providers, and anyone with an interest in equal opportunity housing.
