Request/Subject

Adoption of Proclamation No. 2014-05 proclaiming April as "Fair Housing Month" in Gila County.

Background Information

Each April, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) uses Fair Housing Month to mark the passage of the 1968 Fair Housing Act, the landmark law passed shortly after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. which prohibits housing discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, and family status. This year's Fair Housing Month theme is "Fair Housing is Your Right: Use It!"

By the Board of Supervisors adopting Proclamation No. 2014-05, Gila County will join in a national effort proclaiming April as Fair Housing Month.

The Gila County Division of Community Services Director recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt Proclamation No. 2014-05 proclaiming April as Fair Housing Month in Gila County.
