This program will provide a primer on fair housing law, and look at current
issues in housing discrimination and access to justice issues in Housing Court.
Panelists will also discuss how potential modifications to “public charge”
regulations could impact housing benefits based on an individual’s visa/green
card status.
In addition, the program will summarize federal and state tax incentives for
affordable housing.
