			<title>April is Fair Housing Month</title>
			<link>http://www.hud.gov/local/co/news/2009-04-13.cfm</link>
			<description>A top priority of HUD&apos;s Office of  Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity is creating equal 
			housing opportunities for  every resident of this nation. One of the primary ways HUD accomplishes this is  
			by aggressively enforcing the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination  based on race, color, national 
			origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability. The Office of  Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity 
			administers fair housing laws and  establishes national policies that ensure all Americans have equal  
			opportunities in housing for which they qualify.</description>
