What this bill does
H.Res. 363, the "Original Fair Housing Resolution of 2021," is a House resolution expressing support for the goals of the Fair Housing Act and marking April 2021 as Fair Housing Month. It does not create new law or fund any program; instead, it formally states the House's support for the Fair Housing Act (enacted 1968) and its 1988 Amendments, calls for strengthened fair housing enforcement, education, and protections—particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic—and encourages recognition of the anniversaries of these laws. The resolution's preamble cites extensive findings on housing discrimination based on race, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, familial status, disability, and religion, as well as pandemic-related concerns such as evictions, language access, and denials of disability accommodations.
Because it is a simple resolution expressing the House's sentiment rather than binding legislation, it does not directly regulate any individual, business, or government agency. Its effect is symbolic: it signals congressional support for fair housing enforcement and awareness efforts, potentially encouraging federal agencies, state and local governments, and advocacy organizations to focus attention on housing discrimination issues.
The bill was introduced on April 30, 2021, by Rep. Al Green (D-TX) with numerous cosponsors, and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. It did not receive a committee vote or further floor action, and it did not become law before the end of the 117th Congress.
