April was Fair Housing Month!
This year, we commemorate the 56th anniversary of the passage of the Fair Housing Act, the landmark civil rights law signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on April 11, 1968, that made discrimination in housing transactions unlawful. The Fair Housing Act prohibits
discrimination in housing because of race, color national origin, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), disability and
familial status.
On April 1, 2024, Mayor John Giles proclaimed that April 2024 be Fair Housing Month, and encourages all agencies, individuals and
institutions, public and private, in Mesa to abide by the letter and the spirit of the Fair Housing Act.
The City of Mesa also provides assistance, information and materials regarding Fair Housing questions and complaints on our website.
