Ogden City's Fair Housing Committee
Commits to Reaching over 5,000 Residents!
A
comprehensive outreach program has been developed by the Ogden City
Fair Housing Committee and staff to directly reach over 5,000 inner-city
residents by October 2004. The all-volunteer committee and City staff
will participate in a total of 25 events between March 20 and October
9, 2004 including 11 Saturdays at Ogden's Historic 25th Street Farmers
and Art Market, beginning in July. Other events include a variety
of school family nights, Cinco de Mayo, the "Taste of Ogden"
Multicultural Festival, Juneteenth, the National Night Out Against
Crime and the Children's Health Connection. Attendance at these events
will range from 200 to over 4,000 residents.
A
bright and engaging tabletop display was created, in both Spanish
and English, to highlight the most critical issues facing those
seeking rental or homeownership opportunities. It includes a 10
question "quiz" to test resident's knowledge and to engage
them in discussions with volunteers and staff about Fair Housing
issues.
