Board proclaims April as Fair Housing Month, recognizes Project Sentinel partnership
Summary
The board adopted a proclamation recognizing April as Fair Housing Month and invited Project Sentinel and other fair‑housing partners to the dais to discuss education, counseling, and enforcement work in the county.
The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors presented a proclamation recognizing April as Fair Housing Month and invited representatives from Project Sentinel and county fair‑housing partners to accept the honor.
Board members noted that the 57th anniversary of the federal Fair Housing Act is an occasion to reaffirm the county’s commitment to preventing housing discrimination. Adrian Solis of Project Sentinel described the nonprofit’s services, saying the agency provides fair‑housing education and counseling across Santa Clara County and neighboring counties and helps with reasonable accommodation requests and eviction risk cases.
Project Sentinel staff noted challenges tied to recent cuts in federal grant funding and thanked the county for continued partnership. The board presented the proclamation and acknowledged longstanding local efforts—education, enforcement and advocacy—to maintain fair housing access.
