Information

Request/Subject

Adoption of Proclamation No. 2016-04 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. The theme for this year’s Fair Housing Month commemoration is “Shared Opportunity in Every Community.”

Evaluation

In an effort to raise awareness regarding the Fair Housing Act, the Gila County Community Services Division/Housing Services would like to join the nation in proclaiming April as Fair Housing Month.

Conclusion

By the Board of Supervisors adopting Proclamation No. 2016-04, Gila County will join in a national effort proclaiming April as Fair Housing Month.

Recommendation

The Gila County Community Services Division Director recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt Proclamation No. 2016-04 proclaiming April as Fair Housing Month in Gila County.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to adopt Proclamation No. 2016-04 proclaiming April 2016 as Fair Housing Month in Gila County. (Malissa Buzan)
