The Fair Housing Work Group meets to ensure the FHAST form can be reviewed and finalized for submission to the General Land Office. The Fair Housing Activity Statement is a form that assesses the community’s fair housing situation. Actions may include review of existing ordinances that deal with land use or housing and establishing processes to handle any fair housing complaints.

If you have any questions about when this group meets or to apply for board appointment please contact the City Secretary's Office at (281) 291.5736.
