Housing on Long Island Just Became More Inclusive

Jan 26, 2022

Committed to the mission of Fair Housing for ALL, in 2020 and 2021, Long Island Board of REALTORS® (LIBOR) worked with both the Nassau and Suffolk County legislatures, respectively, to create a bill that allows homeowners to remove racially and religiously restrictive covenants from their property deeds.

To celebrate this momentous change, LIBOR has launched a social media public awareness campaign on this action to inform homeowners of their new potential covenant removal option and reaffirm to all that racially and religious restrictive language is illegal and unconstitutional.
