ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />A PROCLAMATION <br />FAIR HOUSING MONTH <br />WHEREAS, April, 2004 marks the thirty-sixth anniversary of the Federal Fair Housing Act of <br />1964 and the 21st anniversary of the North Carolina Fair Housing Act prohibiting <br />discrimination in housing on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, <br />handicap and familial status; and <br />WHEREAS, the Orange County Board of Commissioners enacted the Orange County Civil <br />Rights Ordinance on June 6, 1994, which affords to the residents of Orange <br />County the protections guaranteed by Title VIII and additionally encompasses the <br />protected classes of veteran status and age; and <br />WHEREAS, Orange County and the United States Department of Housing and Urban <br />Development, concerned residents and the housing industry are working to make <br />fair housing opportunities possible for everyone by encouraging others to abide by <br />the letter and the spirit of fair housing laws; and <br />WHEREAS, despite of the protections afforded by the Orange County Civil <br />Rights Ordinance and Title VIII as amended, illegal housing discrimination still <br />occurs in our nation and in our county; <br />WHEREAS, by supporting and promoting fair housing and equal opportunity, we are <br />contributing to the health of our County, State and Nation; <br />NOW, THEREFORE, do we, the Commissioners of Orange County, proclaim April 2004 as <br />FAIR HOUSING MONTH and commend this observance to all Orange County <br />residents. <br />This the 13th day of April, 2004. <br />Barry .facoba, Chair: <br />Orange County Board of Commissioners <br />
