All Politics is Local About this blogWe go to meetings so you don't have to. The Clark County Council will consider a resolution later this month to declare Fair Housing Month. The council unanimously agreed during a council time meeting Wednesday to place the item for consideration on its April 20 meeting agenda. Council Chair Eileen Quiring O’Brien said she introduced the proclamation at the request of the Clark County Association of Realtors. The declaration celebrates the 53rd anniversary of the enactment of the federal Fair Housing Act on April 11, 1968. The act enshrined into federal law the goal of eliminating racial segregation and housing discrimination. It committed recipients of federal funding, like Clark County, to promoting fair housing locally.
