Conference - The Next Forty Years of Fair Housing: Developing an Agenda for Integration in the 21st Century

The year 2008 marks 40 years since the passage of the Fair Housing Act of 1968. The Act protects
individual rights and fosters residential integration. This forward-looking conference focused on
research, policies, and programs that move beyond anti-discrimination enforcement to examine
the other barriers to integration. More than 70 researchers, policymakers, and community leaders
from universities, government, and non-profit organizations attended this conference and worked
toward an action agenda for the future.
