California has a commitment to fair and equal housing. That commitment was reinforced by the passage of AB 686 requiring public agencies to administer housing and community development programs in a way that furthers fair housing. This webinar will provide an overview of the fair housing laws, strategies to implement/address these requirements and the interconnection between fair housing and larger socio-economic, equity and environmental justice issues.
Registration is free.
Speakers:
- Tyrone Buckley, Assistant Deputy Director of Fair Housing, Department of Housing and Community Development
- Muhammad Alameldin, Economic Equity Fellow, The Greenlining Institute
- Lori Droste, Councilmember, City of Berkeley
- Isaac Rosen, Associate, Best Best & Kreiger
Moderated by Melissa Kuehne, Senior Program Manager, Institute for Local Government[spacer height=”20px”][spacer height=”20px”]
