The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) Community and Economic Development Unit invites the general public to attend a public forum scheduled to be conducted on Thursday, November 13, 2014, at 10:30 a.m. at the Perdido Beach Resort Hotel located at 27200 Perdido Beach Blvd., Orange Beach, Alabama 36561.
The forum will be conducted by ADECA and Mr. Robert Gaudin of Western Economic Services, LLC in Portland, Oregon. A similar forum will also be conducted at 4:00 p.m. on the same day and at the same location in conjunction with the Community Development Block Grant Compliance Workshop.
ADECA is a recipient of federal grant funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, and is required to periodically conduct an “Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice” as a means of affirmatively furthering fair housing within Alabama in efforts to eliminate direct and/or indirect discrimination in housing and related services based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, familial status, or disability. ADECA is seeking the public’s input by hosting these forums, which will assist ADECA in complying with the federal civil rights program-related laws and requirements. These forums will allow citizens opportunities to discuss Alabama’s “Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice.”
