Fair Housing Reading Resources at Your Local Bookstores!

Expand Your Perspective: A Fair Housing Reading List

At Portside Real Estate Group, we believe that education is a powerful tool in fostering fair and equitable housing for all. The history of housing in America is deeply intertwined with issues of race, policy, and systemic inequality. To better understand these challenges and work toward solutions, we’ve compiled a Fair Housing Reading List—a selection of insightful books recommended by the National Association of Realtors.

To support both lifelong learning and our local community, we’re also sharing a list of independent bookstores, where you can find these books and more. Shopping local helps strengthen our neighborhoods—just like fair housing does.

Whether you're a real estate professional, a homebuyer, or simply someone who values inclusive communities, these books will challenge, inform, and inspire. Let’s work together to build a future where housing is truly for all.
