Fair Housing Month: Abilene takes a stand against discrimination

ABILENE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – April is National Fair Housing Month, a month dedicated to raising awareness of housing rights and ending discrimination. Now, Abilene is joining the effort by officially proclaiming April as Fair Housing Month in the city.

This year marks the 57th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act, a law that established a national policy against housing discrimination. On April 1, Abilene Mayor Weldon Hurt issued a proclamation recognizing Fair Housing Month in the city.

“As mayor and on behalf of the city council, I extend my sincere appreciation to the Abilene Association of Realtors for their unwavering commitment to fair housing,” Hurt said. “The citizens of Abilene proudly proclaim April 2025 as Fair Housing Month.”

Hurt also emphasized the Abilene Association of Realtors’ dedication to promoting the Fair Housing Act by addressing discrimination, supporting educational programs, and advocating for equal housing opportunities.
