HUD Produces Video Messages for Deaf and Hard of Hearing
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced that
it has produced videos for YouTube and Facebook designed to educate Deaf and hard-of-hearing consumers
about their fair housing rights, housing counseling services, and loan programs offered by the Federal Housing
Administration (FHA).
In one video, a HUD employee uses sign language to tell his story of refinancing his home through FHA, the
largest government insurer on mortgages. In another video, he explains that it's illegal to discriminate in
housing based on race, religion, sex, national origin, disability or family status. All videos encourage viewers
to contact HUD by visiting its website, www.hud.gov for help or more
information. Read more...
