ProPublica: A Year Later, Feds Inch Forward on Fair Housing

Last night's episode of “This American Life”  featured a story based on ProPublica’s yearlong investigation “Living Apart: How the Government Betrayed a Landmark Civil Rights Law.”

Called “House Rules,” the TAL segment examined the ways zip codes  determine the destiny of many Americans. The show featured some of the actors who go undercover to test the market for hidden housing discrimination, a highly effective tool seldom used by the government.

Fair Share Housing Center honored by New Jersey NAACP

On Saturday, September 10, Adam M. Gordon, Kevin D. Walsh and Damika L. Webb were honored as the recipients of the Fair Share Housing Advocate Award at the New Jersey NAACP Annual Convention in Parsippany, NJ.
The New Jersey State Conference of the NAACP, the Officers and the Executive Committee gave congratulation for Fair Share Housing Center’s devotion “to defending the housing rights of New Jersey’s poor through implementing the Mount Laurel Doctrine, which requires that each municipality provide its fair share of housing affordable low-and moderate-income people.”
