Purpose

 PROCLAMATION OF FAIR HOUSING MONTH 

Background

 It is important to reaffirm the commitment of Sauk County regarding citizens’ right to buy, sell, rent or otherwise secure housing in Sauk County without regard to sex, race, religion, marital status, age, national origin, income or financial status in conformance with Title VIII of the Civil Rights Action of 1968 as known as the Federal Fair Housing Law and State Open Housing Law.

 

Fair housing occurs when people have a wide range of housing choices based on their income and needs regardless of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, ancestry, age marital status, lawful source of income, disability, family status or status as a victim of domestic abuse, sexual abuse or stalking.
