When we talk about Fair Housing, the Asian community are often overlooked. At this symposium, we explore the reasons why. With disaggregated data and dialogue with our diverse communities, we can give voice to the needs and challenges of all our members. We shall cover from the micro and macro perspectives of Fair Housing Issues and discuss how we can move the needle of homeownerships for all.

We are looking for sponsorships, community partnerships, and expo participants. Limited Expo Tables: $500 each; non-profits are free. 

Free to nonprofits and open to the public.

It's our time to be heard. Please join us.
