Information

Request/Subject

Adoption of Proclamation No. 2024-03 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., prohibits housing discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, and family status.

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. 2024-03, Gila County will join in a national effort proclaiming April as Fair Housing Month. On April 18th, an email was received from the Administrative & Special Projects Coordinator notifying our department that the grant requires we proclaim April as National Fair Housing Month.

Recommendation

It is the recommendation of the Gila County Public Health and Community Services Department Director that the Board of Supervisors ratify the adoption of Proclamation No. 2024-03 proclaiming April as Fair Housing Month in Gila County.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to adopt Proclamation No. 2024-03 proclaiming April 2024 as Fair Housing Month in Gila County. (Josh Beck)
