Fair Housing Initiative
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designates April as National Fair Housing month. April 2019 marks the Fiftieth-First Anniversary of the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination in housing. The Fair Housing Act was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on April 11, 1968 prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status and national origin. The City of Greenville and their partners will sponsor the following Fair Housing seminars:
The first Fair Housing Seminar, designed for property managers and landlords, is scheduled for Tuesday, April 9th at 9:00 am. The venue is the Hilton. Presenters are: Mr. Gene Troy with North Carolina Human Relations Commission, Civil Rights Division of Raleigh, North Carolina; Attorney Chris Loebsack with Loebsack and Brownlee, PLLC of Charlotte, North Carorlina, and Rebekah Thurston, Life Safety Educator with the City's Fire/Rescue Department.
The second Fair Housing Seminar, designed for tenants, is scheduled for Tuesday, April 23rd at 11:30 am. This seminar will take place at the Greenville Housing Authority Training Room. The presenter is Mr. Gene Troy with the North Carolina Human Relations Commission.
Both seminars are free to our partners (GAMPA, City of Greenville Senior Management Team, elected officials, and HUD representatives). If you or your agency/organization is not listed, there is a $20 for the seminar. Registration is required.
