PUBLIC NOTICE
Fair Housing - Fair Housing is a national policy of the United States, it’s the law, and it’s your right. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended, makes discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, family status or national origin illegal in connection with the sale or rental of most housing and any vacant land offered for residential construction or use. Today, more than ever, America is closer to upholding the inalienable right of all its citizens to live where they choose, when they choose, or for as long as they choose and can afford to do so. Yet, this year, as many as two million people who want to rent or buy a home will be discriminated against because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, families with children, or national origin. You can do something about housing discrimination. The Village of Gilbert has passed a Fair Housing Ordinance. Complaints may be filed local with the Secretary of the Village or by reporting violations to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Toll-Free, 1-800-424-8590.
Telecommunications - The Village of Gilbert utilizes the Louisiana Relay Systems for communication with the visually and hearing impaired persons and the telephone numbers are: 1-800-947-5277 (visually impaired), 1-800-333-0605 (informational), and 1-800-846-5277 (TDD users).
Statement of Nondiscrimination -The Village of Gilbert is the recipient of Federal financial assistance from the Louisiana Division of Administration which distributes funds for the Department of Housing and Urban Development and is subject to the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; as amended, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, as amended, and the rules and regulations of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development which provides that no person in the United States on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, or disability, including participants, beneficiaries, applicants, employees, unions, or professional organizations holding collective bargaining or professional agreements shall be excluded from participation in, admission or access to, denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subjected to discrimination under any of the Village’s programs or activities. The person responsible for coordinating the Village’s nondiscrimination compliance effort is E. A. Greer, Secretary-EEO/AAP. Any individual, or specific class of individuals, who feels that the Village has subjected him/her to discrimination may obtain further information about statutes and regulations listed above from, and/or file a written complaint with the Village, or the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, Regional Office, FHA Division, Post Office Box 2905, Forth Worth, Texas, 76113-2905. Complaints must be filed within 180 days after the alleged discrimination. Confidentiality will be maintained to the extent possible.
