(Use additional pages as necessary) <br />Discussions with local public officials indicate that housing related industries (contractors, <br />lenders, realtors, appraisers) are aware of the need for fair housing; however, they lack <br />information regarding Federal and State fair housing legislation. Public- assisted housing <br />providers appear to be more knowledgeable of legislation. There seems to be a lack of <br />knowledge among citizens of fair housing laws and a lack of affordable dwellings for handicapped <br />and large families within public housing. All activities undertaken will have provisions of reaching <br />the visually impaired and ensure equal opportunity for housing in the community for all persons <br />regardless of income status. <br />III. Will the above activities apply to the total municipality or county? <br />Yes X No If no, provide an explanation. <br />(Use additional pages as necessary) <br />IV.
