Avery County proclaims April 2025 as Fair Housing Month
Summary
Commissioners adopted a resolution proclaiming April 2025 as Fair Housing Month and corrected a typographical error in the resolution text before adoption.
County staff presented an updated Fair Housing Plan and a resolution supporting National Fair Housing Month. The plan update adds a domestic-violence house to the county’s fair-housing activities and the resolution recognizes the anniversary of the 1968 Fair Housing Act.
Staff read the proposed resolution and noted a typographical correction (changing "a Avery County" to "Avery County"). A motion to approve the resolution with that correction carried by voice vote.
The resolution states the county’s desire that all citizens have the opportunity to attain a decent, safe and sound living environment and joins national observances of Fair Housing Month for April 2025.
Why it matters: The resolution is a formal county proclamation recognizing fair-housing protections and the county’s participation in awareness activities linked to the High Country Council of Governments’ program for updated fair-housing planning.
The board adopted the resolution and directed staff to include the corrected text in county records.
