Engaging the Disability Community in Fair Housing Planning - AFFH for Individuals with Disabilities

This webinar series featured two online webinars that took place during fair housing month. These webinars detailed ways for stakeholders serving individuals with disabilities to get involved with fair housing planning activities. These webinars were sponsored by the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) and the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Administration for Community Living (ACL). These webinars are 508 compliant and provided American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation and Communication Access Real Time Translation (CART) speech-to-text interpreting services (also referred to as real-time captioning).

This first session focused on providing background on Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) and its relation to disability.
