RCCAA Promotes Fair Housing
April is Fair Housing Month! This year marks the 44th anniversary of the passage of the Civil Rights Act.
The Civil Rights Act, more commonly known as the Fair Housing Law, was signed into law on April 11, 1968 just days after the assassination of civil rights leader - Martin Luther King, Jr. This law prohibits discrimination concerning the sale, rental, and financing of housing based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, and familial or disability status.
Raleigh County Community Action Association, Inc. is a supporter and advocate of the Fair Housing Law. In honor of Fair Housing Month, RCCAA will host a Fair Housing Awareness Day on Thursday, April 26 from 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. at our 620 Johnstown Road – Beckley Office. The community is invited to attend.
