Good morning everyone,
Last month I sent an email to all of you reminding everyone they needed to have
their grantees Proclaim April as Fair Housing month. That email stated they
needed to publish the proclamation. That was my error. There is no need to
publish the Proclamation. The grantees just need to proclaim April as Fair
Housing month and send us a copy of the proclamation.
For those of you who have sent proclamations to me, I thank you very much.
Anyone who has not sent in their proclamations please send them to me when
they have been completed.
Thanks and have a great day,
