Community Choice
Strategies for Promoting Fair Housing Opportunities in Monroe County

What are businesses in the community doing to promote housing choice?

Lenders and real estate professionals currently offer a number of services for housing consumers that have a direct impact on increasing the availability of housing to meet the needs of a diverse community.

Specific Community Choice Action Plan strategies involve working with the private sector to improve real estate practices and to promote fair lending practices that will enhance housing choice for all residents.

Private Sector Inititiatives are critical and this page will evolve over time to include a comprehensive list of services for broad range of private sector businesses involved in housing services.
