CPTC Fall Webinar Series: Fair Housing

  • Virtual https://masscptc.org/index.php/training/webinar-series/#fall (map)

Fair Housing

Fair housing laws regulate the development, leasing, buying and selling of real estate, as well as state and municipal housing programs, and aspects of municipal land use. This module will describe how land use regulations have been (and continue to be) used to exclude groups from specific neighborhoods and properties, and provide a detailed overview of federal and state laws intended to prevent discrimination and promote equity in housing. A special focus will be on the role of the municipality in enforcing a commitment to fair housing, and the potential consequences of not doing so.

  • Presenter: Jenny Raitt, Executive Director, Northern Middlesex Council of Governments

  • Moderator: Katy Lacy, Mass Housing Partnership, CPTC Board member
