These industry events are part of a year-long Missouri public awareness campaign, the Show-Me Fair Housing Awareness Project, to educate the 150,000 citizens in Dunklin, Mississippi, New Madrid, Pemiscot, Scott, and Stoddard counties about their rights and obligations under fair housing laws. The project is made possible through an Education and Outreach Initiative grant awarded to the MCHR by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. |
