Item/$ebfM: Fair Housing Policy
Separatists Designates: Commwity Davelnpment
Commentary:
Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of
1968 as amended requires feder
agencies to administer their progress and
activities in
affirmatively to further Pair Housing for
all individuals without regard
e
for r color, religion, national origin, sex, handicap or familial
status. President Carter gave the Secretary of MUD the leadership role
for ensuring that all federal housing and
urban development programs
affirmatively further Pair Mousing. In view
of that role, a HDD repro-
entative from the Boston Regional office
will visit the Community
Development Division on Monday, August 28,
1989 to review programs and ,
procedures. The City Council's scheduled
action on the attached Resolv
will indicate that Pair Housing is n active
concern and the City's poi
on the subject is formally and clearly stated.
