MAYOR'S PROCLAMATION
FAIR HOUSING MONTH
WHEREAS, although Equal Housing Opportunity is a right guaranteed to all American under Title VIII of
the 1968 Civil Rights Law, the struggle against discrimination in housing continues; and
WHEREAS, each year since the enactment of the National Fair Housing Act, the Federal Government
designates April, the anniversary month of that law, as Fair Housing Month; and
WHEREAS, on this, 47 Anniversary, Monroe County, Florida, is pleased to join in that designation, since
it provides an opportunity for all Americans to rededicate themselves to the principles of freedom of
housing choice and to reacquaint themselves with the rights and responsibilities that are theirs under
the law; and
WHEREAS, since fair housing is consistent with the principle of equality and justice for all — principles
upon which our nation was founded —we all need to share in the fight to ensure fair housing is a reality
for all residents; and
WHEREAS, the Housing Authority of Monroe County provides fair housing education and outreach
services for the County of Monroe,
NOW THEREFORE, I, George Neugent, Mayor of Monroe County, on behalf of the County Board of
Commissioners, do proclaim the month of April, 2017 as
L
CL
FAIR HOUSING MONTH
in Monroe County, and urge all citizens to join the efforts to reaffirm fair housing opportunities for all
people.
Witness my hand and seal of the County of Monroe, Florida this 12 Day of April, 2017.
George R. Neugent, Mayor
