The 11th Annual Fair Housing Breakfast will take place on Thursday, October 10, 2024, at Weber’s Hotel in Ann Arbor, with keynote speaker Cashauna Hill, a prominent civil rights advocate and housing justice leader. The event will begin at 8:30 a.m. and brings together community leaders, housing providers, Realtors, lenders, attorneys, and policymakers to discuss ongoing challenges and advancements in fair housing. Real Estate professionals can earn one CE Fair Housing credit for this class.
Hill is the Executive Director of the Redress Movement, a group that works to identify, promote, and secure remedies that address the harmful impact of discriminatory housing policies and practices through grassroots community organizing.
With a wealth of experience in civil rights litigation and advocacy, Ms. Hill’s talk will explore the intersections of housing, race, and equity, focusing on how communities can organize for a more just and inclusive housing landscape. She previously served as director of the Louisiana Fair Housing Action Center and has testified before the United States Congress as a fair housing expert.
This annual event, hosted by the Fair Housing Center of Southeast & Mid Michigan, highlights the importance of fair housing laws and their impact on building inclusive communities. Attendees will gain insights into current issues, discrimination, and the future of fair housing policy. Proceeds will support ongoing efforts to promote and enforce fair housing rights in the region.
“We are thrilled to welcome Cashauna Hill as our speaker this year,” said Pam Kisch, Executive Director of the Fair Housing Center of Southeast & Mid Michigan. “Her lived experience, work as a civil rights attorney, and innovative approaches to change make her a champion in the fight for fair housing.”
