NCD Week is an annual campaign emphasizing the local and national success of the CDBG program.
The theme of this year’s Fair Housing Symposium is “Living Free: Removing Barriers.” Workshops will be provided for both citizens and industry professionals, such as homebuilders, realtors, property managers and homeowners. All workshops will be presented by attorneys and other experts in the field of fair housing and disabilities. Citizen workshops include the elements of a housing complaint, reasonable accommodations/modifications, landlord/tenant issues and code enforcement. The Professional’s Workshop will focus on trends in design and construction, barriers to accessible housing and visitability. Those who attend the Professional’s Workshop will receive certificates that may be used for obtaining continuing education credits.
