The Fair Housing Program staff is available to answer questions and
give presentations about fair housing law at no charge. We offer the
following programs:
School Age Education & Outreach
One of the major obstacles to the successful integration and
stabilization of neighborhoods is the persistence of prejudice and intolerance
within the general population. One of the best ways to combat prejudice
is to teach tolerance at a young age.
The BNI School Fair Housing Outreach curriculum focuses on teaching
tolerance and encouraging students to consider the benefits of living in
an integrated community. Fair Housing Specialists are available for
visits to elementary and secondary classrooms as well as after school
programs and community centers. The lessons are designed to take place
within a limited time frame (between 30 minutes and 1 hour) and can be
altered to fit your specific needs.
Lesson plans and resource materials are also available for use by
classroom teachers.
Community Education & Outreach
Fair Housing Specialists are available to speak to your group or
organization about fair housing law and specific fair housing issues. We can
also team with a tenant/landlord counselor in order to provide a
broader presentation on laws governing renters in the state of Maryland.
Housing Providers
The Fair Housing Program welcomes and encourages questions on fair
housing law and outreach requests from landlords and property managers.
For further information or to arrange for a Fair Housing Outreach at
your organization, please call the Fair Housing Office at (410)243-4400. |
