  Fair Housing School Book List 

  

Education

&

Outreach

 

Members of the NEOC staff attended the National Fair Housing Alliance Fair Housing School training and one of the resources provided at the training was a Fair Housing School book list which is posted as recommended reading.

It is recommended that individuals consider reading these books instead of the fiction and non-fiction books that they may be reading.  They may obtain different perspectives on discrimination.  They will gain a historical perspective on things which have transpired in the housing industry that affect housing.  They will learn about some of our civil rights leaders in the past.

Therefore, the NEOC is making available this Fair Housing School book list in order to encourage individuals to read more about the issues of discrimination, injustice, and inequality in our society.
