As we take a moment to reflect on the timeless words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., his call for change echoes through the decades. In his 1967 speech, “The Other America,” Dr. King emphasized the need for federal fair housing legislation, sparking a movement to break down barriers and promote unity in where we live. This hits close to home for us at Braustin Homes as we strive to help families find a better way home.
- Equality in Housing: Dr. King’s push for fair housing legislation was all about ensuring that everyone, regardless of race, had access to suitable housing. This paved the way for the Fair Housing Act of 1968, which prohibited discrimination in housing transactions. Here at Braustin Homes, we carry on this legacy by championing equality in housing – giving every family a shot at finding a home that suits their unique needs.
- Breaking Down Barriers: Dr. King envisioned a society where racial barriers were torn down, fostering genuine integration. At Braustin Homes, we’re on a mission to break down barriers that stand in the way of families finding their dream homes. Through fair and inclusive practices, we’re creating a space where everyone feels welcome and valued.
- Expanding Opportunities: The Fair Housing Act broadened its protections beyond race to include religion, national origin, sex, handicap, and family status. This expansion aligns perfectly with our belief in providing equal opportunities for all families, regardless of background or circumstances. We’re all about empowering families to access homeownership without facing discriminatory obstacles.
