April is Fair Housing Month and Legal Services of North Florida, Inc. is helping to raise awareness of the progress that has been made, but also the distance that we have yet to go in the area of housing discrimination. All over Escambia, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa and Walton counties we are posting and distributing banners, brochures, and posters addressing the Fair Housing Laws and the celebration of April 2007 as the 39th Anniversary of the Fair Housing Act. Print out official Fair Housing Month poster click here.
