Dickinson County proclaims April 2025 as Fair Housing Month

April 2025 has officially been designated Fair Housing Month in Dickenson County, following a unanimous vote by the Board of Supervisors during their recent public hearing. The proclamation highlights the importance of fair housing practices and reaffirms the county's commitment to preventing discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, disability, familial status, and national origin.

The initiative is part of an ongoing project in Trammell, where the county aims to promote awareness and education around fair housing issues. The Board emphasized that fair housing is not just a legal obligation but a vital component of community well-being.

During the meeting, a motion was made and seconded to adopt the proclamation, which was met with unanimous approval from the supervisors. This declaration aligns with the national observance of Fair Housing Month, reinforcing the county's dedication to fostering an inclusive environment for all residents.

As Dickenson County prepares for this month-long observance, officials encourage community engagement and participation in activities aimed at promoting fair housing awareness.
