Each Recipient shall do the following: 1) Have in place a fair housing resolution or ordinance that covers all Federally protected classes (race, color, familial status, handicap, national origin, religion, and sex); 2) Designate an employee as the Fair Housing Coordinator who is available during regular business hours to receive fair housing calls; 3) Publish the Fair Housing Coordinator's contact information quarterly in a newspaper of general circulation in the Recipient's jurisdiction so that people know who to call to ask fair housing questions or register a complaint. Alternatively, the Recipient can post the coordinator's contact information throughout the quarter on the home page of its website; 4) Establish a system to record the following for each fair housing call: a) The nature of the call, b) The actions taken in response to the call, c) The results of the actions taken, and d) If the caller was referred to another agency, the results obtained by the referral agency; 5) Conduct at least one fair housing activity each quarter. Identical activities (see examples below) shall not be conducted in consecutive quarters; and 6) Display a fair housing poster in the CDBG Office. (Thus does not count as a fair housing activity.) The Recipient shall ensure that the fair housing contact person has received training so that he/she can handle fair housing phone inquiries or refer the inquiries to the appropriate people/agencies. Records maintained by the contact will help the community do the following • Define where discriminatory practices are occurring, • Help the community measure the effectiveness of its outreach efforts, and • Provide the community with a means to gain information that can be used to design and implement strategies that will eliminate fair housing impediments. Examples of fair housing activities include the following: X Making fair housing presentations at schools, civic clubs, and neighborhood association meetings; x Conducting a fair housing poster contest or an essay contest; x Manning a booth and distributing fair housing materials at libraries, health fairs, community events, yard sales, and church festivals; and 48 110
