The agency will pair university students with fair housing attorneys across the nation.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced a partnership last month that is intended to support the workforce required to enforce fair housing rights in the United States. Beginning in Spring 2025, the agency will pair law students from North Carolina Central University, a historically Black university, with nonprofits, fair housing attorneys, and civil rights organizations to give them tangible experiences within fair housing litigation operations.
“One of our most important objectives at HUD is to lift up communities that have historically been left behind by enforcing the Fair Housing Act,” said HUD Acting Secretary Adrianne Todman. “This first-of-its-kind partnership between North Carolina Central University’s School of Law and HUD’s National Fair Housing Training Academy will provide the next generation of fair housing practitioners with the tools to combat housing discrimination in North Carolina and across the nation.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Acting Secretary Todman to be led by the Lord as she oversees HUD.
- For U.S. housing officials as they recruit new attorneys to ensure fair housing and civil rights.
