The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) is funding a new Fair Housing Education and Outreach Campaign.
The Resurrection Project (TRP) is proud to participate in this national campaign to raise awareness of housing discrimination against individuals based on their national origin and to educate individuals about their rights under the Fair Housing Act.
In addition to national outreach efforts led by our national partners, National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders (NALCAB) and National Coalition for Asian Pacific American Community Development (National CAPACD), we are conducting local education and outreach efforts through our social media platforms and local networks.
To enhance our outreach efforts, we are requesting graphic designs created by local artists that communicate the theme of our campaign, reflect the cultural and linguistic diversity of our community, and can be disseminated through social media to raise awareness of fair housing rights and protect individuals. The artist whose design is selected will receive a $1,000 honorarium.
The theme for our campaign is:
Fair Housing Shared Opportunity in Every Community.
Description and Guidelines for Design:
The Resurrection Project (TRP) is requesting graphic designs that convey the theme of our fair housing campaign, reflect the cultural and linguistic diversity of our community, and raise awareness of housing discrimination based on national origin in particular for Latino and immigrant communities, fair housing rights, and how to take action against discrimination.
Design submissions will be reviewed by a committee comprising representatives from The Resurrection Project and our national partners. The committee will select one design, which will be submitted to HUD for approval to be used in our campaign.
The artist of the selected design will receive a $1,000 honorarium for their work.
If approved by HUD, the design will be incorporated into our social media campaign. HUD reserves the right to deny use of the design in our HUD-funded social media campaign. The Resurrection Project, our national partners, and HUD will retain all rights to the selected and approved design.
Artists should keep the following in mind when creating their work for submission:

• The theme of our campaign is: Fair Housing. Shared Opportunity in Every Community.

• The campaign’s goal is to increase awareness of fair housing rights and how to report discrimination.

• The campaign will focus on educating individuals who may face housing discrimination based on their national origin.

• The specific format of the design work is open, but all submitted designs should be easily shared via Twitter, Facebook, and other social media platforms.

• We encourage submissions in the following languages: English or Spanish
