Two tickets, some popcorn, and housing discrimination
HUD has announced that it is now running a public service advertisement (PSA) in movie theaters in 28 U.S. cities. The PSA will educate consumers about fair lending/housing rights. The PSA will run through July 25.
- Here is HUD's news release with more details.
- Here's a list of the cities where the PSAs will air.
- Here's a link to a page where you can find the PSA. (Good luck. I couldn't get it to work.)
HUD does enforce the Fair Housing Act for all credit unions in the U.S. I would scan the list of cities to see if theaters in your area will be showing the PSA. If so, just be prepared that some homeowners may contact you in reaction to the PSA. Note: HUD did pick 10 cities "with some of the highest foreclosure rates in the country."
