Black Lives Matter to Family Housing Advisory Services (FHAS)

​Black Lives Matter. As a result of systemic racism, Black people lag far behind white America in their housing stability and financial security.  Black people have been left out of the economic equation. Established in 1968 on the heels of the Civil Rights Movement and in recognition of inequalities and lack of access to homeownership and other wealth-building opportunities, FHAS remains committed to and compassionate about our mission and efforts to improve quality of life and eliminate poverty by helping people achieve housing stability and financial security.

We are not silent.  We cry out against housing and economic injustice and inequality in all forms.  We will continue to provide opportunities for Black people to receive fair rates and terms in accessing housing and homeownership and financial opportunities.  We will remain relentless in addressing housing discrimination through our Fair Housing Center.  We will pursue opportunities to match savings to help people obtain assets and build wealth. We will provide free tax preparation to help people access thousands of dollars in tax credits that lift people above the poverty line.

We will consistently provide housing and financial education to advance the prosperity of Black people, realizing that due to systemic racism, some roads are longer and much harder to navigate and might be filled with potholes too deep to climb out, shards of glass that cut so deep the bleeding may never stop, boulders so huge we can’t see or reach the opportunities on the other side, twists and turns so sharp we are thrown into brick walls or the abyss, and cliffs we easily fall over and almost never recover.
​
For 52 years, FHAS has improved housing and finances for the last and the least.  We help people prevent homelessness, become educated homeowners, learn options to avoid foreclosure, become financially-wise consumers, access tax credits, address housing discrimination, and obtain affordable mortgage loans. We will continue to do this essential work in serving our community.  While we serve all races and ethnicities, we acknowledge the challenges and barriers faced by black people, and we stand with our employees, clients and community in declaring that Black. Lives. Matter.
