Fair Housing

The North Carolina Real Estate Commission extends its sincere gratitude to everyone who attended and presented at the 2025 Collaborative Fair Housing Symposium series. Hosted in Durham on April 1st, Charlotte on August 18th, and Wilmington on October 30th, the three symposia welcomed professionals from across the state—each committed to advancing fair housing awareness and compliance. Your participation and attendance made the series a huge success.

Each event featured expert presenters from the North Carolina Human Relations Commission, local Human Relations offices, Wilmington Housing Authority, the United States Attorney’s Office, Legal Aid of North Carolina’s Fair Housing Project, and the Commission itself. Their collective expertise guided attendees through some of the most nuanced aspects of fair housing law.

Topics explored included:

  • Protections for survivors of domestic violence
  • Source of income discrimination
  • Reasonable accommodations
  • Civil and criminal ramifications of noncompliance
  • Best practices to ensure compliance

Attendees also heard firsthand accounts from investigators and prosecutors, offering a compelling look into the real-world impact of fair housing enforcement. These stories underscored the importance of vigilance, knowledge, and accountability in upholding housing rights across North Carolina.

The Commission is deeply grateful to our presenters for sharing their time and insights, and to every attendee who contributed to the thoughtful dialogue and learning environment. Your engagement strengthens our collective commitment to fair housing.

We look forward to continuing this important work together.
