Equality for all...

Mayor Rich Sykes is joined by city officials as he prepares to sign a proclamation Friday afternoon to officially declare the month of April as Fair Housing Month in Mountain Home. This month marks the 49th anniversary of the passage of the Federal Fair Housing Act, which aims at eliminating discrimination in providing housing for Americans, regardless of their race, color, religion, gender, disability, family status or national origin. The local observance aims at continuing to promote fair housing principles, practices, rights and responsibilities.
