The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has produced a Fair Housing Month video for 2010. You can watch the video or download a transcript of the video's text as a Word document, courtesy of HUD.gov.
The five-minute video reflects HUD's theme for this year's Fair Housing Month, "Time to Act," and features John Trasviña, the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, addressing the American public about the current state of fair housing compliance and enforcement efforts.
Forty-two years after the passage of the Fair Housing Act (FHA), Mr. Trasviña says that "the fight to end housing discrimination continues," noting that his office as well as state and local partners receive over 10,000 fair housing complaints each year.
"We have a great deal of work to do," he concludes, including making sure that people across the United States "know their rights and responsibilities."
Return tomorrow for the thirteenth part of this special "Fair Housing Month" feature at Fairhousingblog.com.
