Clinton County to adopt 2026 fair housing resolution and pass food-bank subrecipient contract
Summary
County staff presented a 2026 Fair Housing resolution emphasizing protections for people with disabilities and explained a $76,764.64 pass-through subrecipient contract with the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank to support local food distribution.
Elizabeth introduced the county’s 2026 Fair Housing resolution and a related subrecipient contract for food assistance.
Elizabeth said April is Fair Housing Month and presented the 2026 resolution, tying the theme to the America 250 celebration and stressing that the right to choose where to live without discrimination is “fundamental to freedom and human dignity.” She told commissioners that fair housing resolutions are adopted annually and are required for many grants; she also said that the fastest-rising category of housing discrimination complaints in Pennsylvania involves people with disabilities.
Elizabeth also presented a pass-through subrecipient contract with the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank totaling $76,764.64 under the state food purchase program. She said the food bank will manage distribution through its network of pantries and soup kitchens and credited the organization’s work during the pandemic and continuing assistance as needs tighten.
The items were presented for consideration and information; Elizabeth asked if there were any questions and received none. No formal vote was recorded during the work session; the contract and resolution were listed among items for the April 23 commissioners meeting.
