Proclamation
FAIR HOUSING MONTH
WHEREAS, although Equal Housing Opportunity is a right guaranteed to all
Americans 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, the 52nd 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, David Rice, Mayor of Monroe County, on behalf of the
County Board of Commissioners, do proclaim the month of April, 2022 as
FAIR HOUSING MONTH
In Monroe County, and urge all citizens to join the efforts to reaffirm fair housing
opportunities for all people.
