A capstone written exercise asks you to draft a personal fair housing engagement plan. This course is designed for adults thinking about long-term fair housing awareness. It is approachable for committed beginners. The course is informational and complements, but does not replace, advice from qualified attorneys and fair housing organizations for specific situations.
