RECOGNIZING AND JOINING THE GUAM ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS IN CELEBRATING

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. MADELEINE Z. BORDALLO

                                of guam

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 6, 2018

  Ms. BORDALLO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to join the Guam Association 
of REALTORS in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Fair Housing 
Act. The Fair Housing Act enunciates a national policy of fair housing 
for all who live in the United States.
  For the last 50 years, the Fair Housing Act has prohibited 
discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial 
status and national origin. There is no doubt that the Fair Housing Act 
has been a positive initiative for the island of Guam and our country. 
The Fair Housing Act has promoted diversity throughout communities, and 
this diversity and integration has promoted economic stability, 
community health, and human relations.
  Additionally, Fair Housing is integral to the ethical commitment of 
members of the National Association of REALTORS and the Guam 
Association of REALTORS. The Fair Housing Act gives all real estate 
professionals the ability to serve their clients, customers and 
communities.
  Again, I join the Guam Association of REALTORS in celebrating the 
50th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act. I recognize the Guam 
Association of REALTORS as an inclusive community committed to fair 
housing and to promote appropriate activities by private and public 
entities intended to provide or advocate for equal housing 
opportunities for all residents and prospective residents of Guam. The 
Guam Association of REALTORS is the official voice of real estate on 
Guam with over 400 members involved in all aspects of the residential 
and commercial real estate industries. I look forward to their 
continued contributions to the island of Guam.
