The Long Island Board of Realtors has expanded its campaign dedicated to fighting housing discrimination to include educational resources related to bias based on race or color.
The nonprofit trade association’s Home for All of Us website includes information about housing rights for home seekers and the obligations of Realtors when helping people find a place to live.
The focus on racial discrimination is the latest extension of LIBOR’s Home for All of Us campaign, which began in 2022 with an emphasis on discrimination against people using government vouchers to pay for housing. It expanded last year to include disability discrimination.
LIBOR, which has members in Nassau, Suffolk and Queens, has spread the word about the website through visits to brokerages, emails and social media posts as well as meetings with local lawmakers, said Marlo Paventi, LIBOR’s senior director of public policy and government affairs.
