TALLAHATCHIE COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI, FAIR HOUSING RESOLUTION
Let it be known to all persons of Tallahatchie County, Mississippi, that discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, gender or national origin in the sale, rental, leasing or financing of housing or land to be used for construction of housing or in the provision of brokerage services is prohibited by Title VIII of the 1968 Civil Rights Act (Federal Fair Housing Law).
It is the policy of Tallahatchie County, Mississippi, to encourage equal opportunity in housing for all persons regardless of race, color, religion, gender or national origin. The Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 expands coverage to include disabled persons and families with children. Therefore, the County does hereby pass the following Resolution.
Be it resolved that within available resources, Tallahatchie County will assist all persons who feel they have been discriminated against because of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, disability or familial status to seek equity under Federal and State laws by referring them to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, Compliance Division.
Be it further resolved that Tallahatchie County shall publicize this Resolution and through this publicity shall encourage owners of real estate, developers, and builders to become aware of their respective responsibilities and rights under the Federal Fair Housing Law and amendments and any applicable state or local laws or ordinances.
Tallahatchie County, Mississippi, will, at a minimum, 1. Adopt and publicize the Fair Housing Resolution; 2. Post Fair Housing Posters in prominent public areas; 3. Provide Fair Housing Brochures Fair Housing information to the public; 4. Declare April was Fair Housing Month by Proclamation or Resolution; and 5. Acknowledge the Annual Action Plan Public Hearing conducted by Mississippi Development Authority and Mississippi Home Corporation at North Delta Planning & Development District, Inc., 220 Power Drive, Batesville, MS 38606, on March 23, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. at its fair housing event.

FAIR HOUSING MONTH
Whereas, April marks the anniversary of the passage of the Fair Housing Act of 1968, which sought to eliminate discrimination in housing opportunities and to affirmatively further housing choices for all Americans; and
Whereas, the ongoing struggle for dignity and housing opportunity for all is not the exclusive province of the Federal government; and
Whereas, vigorous local efforts to combat discrimination can be as effective, if not more so, than Federal efforts; and
Whereas, illegal barriers to equal opportunity in housing, no matter how subtle, diminish the rights of all.
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that in the pursuit of the shared goal and responsibility of providing equal housing opportunities for all men and women, Tallahatchie County, Mississippi, does hereby join in the national celebration by proclaiming the month of April 2023 as Fair Housing Month, and encourages all agencies, institutions, and individuals, public and private, in Tallahatchie County to abide by the letter and the spirit of the Fair Housing law; and acknowledge the Annual Action Plan Public Hearing conducted by Mississippi Development Authority and Mississippi Home Corporation at North Delta Planning & Development District Inc., 220 Power Drive, Batesville, MS 38606, on March 23, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. as its fair housing event.
Signed and sealed this 3rd day of April, 2023.
