ACTION REQUEST
Proclaim April 2024 as Fair Housing Month for the City of Texas City.
BACKGROUND (Brief Summary)
April is designated as Fair Housing Month by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to highlight the Fair Housing Act, which is the landmark civil rights law signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on April 11, 1968, that made discrimination in housing transactions unlawful. The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing because of race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), disability, and familial status. During April 2024, the City of Texas City, Community Development Department, will acknowledge Fair Housing Month by holding events and conducting education and outreach to the citizens of Texas City from landlords to tenants, young and old.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended by the Director of Community Development & Grants Administration that the Commission proclaim April 2024 as Fair Housing Month in the City of Texas City.
