FAIR HOUSING
Fair Housing Task Force
The Ordinance that established the Fair Housing Task Force was approved April, 1998. The Ordinance provides for nine voting members and nine ex-officio members. Each City Council Representative is asked to appoint one voting member and the Chairperson is appointed by the Mayor. The ex-officio members are appointed by Directors of their various organizations within the community.
The purpose of the Fair Housing Task Force is:
- to review the current Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice in the City of El Paso;
- to identify any additional impediments;
- to develop a city-wide strategy to address the impediments; and,
- to report to City of El Paso Council on the Task Force’s recommendations and findings.
