House Resolution 147, sponsored by Representative Hurt, commemorates April 2024 as "Fair Housing Month" in recognition of the fifty-sixth anniversary of the Fair Housing Act. This landmark legislation established a national policy promoting fair housing for all individuals in the United States and prohibits discrimination in housing based on various factors, including race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, and national origin. The resolution highlights Tennessee's commitment to fair housing and acknowledges the role of Tennessee REALTORS in fostering ethical practices within the real estate profession.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of fair housing as a community good and condemns acts of housing discrimination as contrary to principles of decency and fairness. It calls upon the people of Tennessee to support initiatives that advocate for equal housing opportunities for all residents and encourages collaboration among private and public entities to promote these values. The resolution concludes with a directive for an appropriate copy to be prepared for presentation.
