Department o f Housing and Urban Develop­ ment is creating a competitive en- environment for small minority- and women-owncd business enter­ prises in lawn maintenance care. O n M ay 3rd. a pre-invitation to bid meeting will occur in the dow n­ town offices o f H U D , 520 S.W . 6th, to discuss details o f the 2-year lawn maintenance contract. " W e are looking for contractors to mow and edge the lawn every two weeks. They must trim the hedges every three months, rake and sweep the driveways and sidewalks." ex­ plained C hief of Property, Curtis Williams. Roughly, one hundred and twen­ ty-five properties have been acquired by H U D through the Federal Hom e Loan Mortgage C o r­ Williams discourages individuals who will read their bid, buy a rake and bid a penny a property. “ You must have equipment, ex­ perience and w e’ll check your credit."

He instructed all inquiries to Pam West, 221-2671. poration. The Mortgage C o r­ poration buys and underwrites m or­ tgages to make credit more available. In the event o f a default, H U D acquires title to the property. Williams said, " W e keep that property in shape to put it back on the market as soon as we can. ’ * W ith the small businessman or woman in mind, H U D has cen­ tralized the property areas to en­ courage minority participation. FAIR HOUSING LAW S US DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING & URBAN DEVELOPMENT April is Fair Housing Month. The following is an explanation of the two major Federal laws dealing with discrim ination in housing in the United States. Racial diacrlminatlon 1a illegal In all U.S. houelng The Civil Rights Act of 1866 pro­ vides that: "A ll citizens of the Unit­ ed Stales shall have the same right, in every State and Territory, as is enjoyed by white citizens therof to inherit, purchase, lease, sell, hold, and convey real and personal prop­ erty.” In the case of Jones v. Mayer, de­ cided on June 17, 1968, the U .S. Supreme Court held that the 1866 law prohibits " a ll racial discrimina­ tion, private as well as public, in the sale or rental of property." 1968 Fair Housing Law. at amended, by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 In Title V I I I of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (the Fair Housing Law), Congress declared a national policy of providing fair housing through­ out the United States. This law makes discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national ori­ gin illegal in connection with the sale or rental of most housing and any vacant land offered for residen­ tial construction or use. Acts prohibited by the Fair Housing Law The Fair Housing l aw provides protection against the following acts, if they are based on race, col­ or, religion, sex, or national origin: Refusing to sell or rent to, deal or negotiate with any person; discrim­ inating in terms or conditions for buying or renting housing; discrim­ inating by advertising that housing is available only to persons of a cer­ tain race, color, religion, sex, or na­ tional origin; denying that housing is available for inspection, sale or rent when it really is available; "blockbusting” — for p ro fit, per­ suading owners to sell or rent hous­ ing by telling them that m inority groups are moving into the neigh­ borhood; denying or making differ­ ent terms or conditions for home loans by commercial lenders, such as banks, savings and loan associa­ tions and insurance companies; denying to anyone the use of or par­ ticipation in any real estate services, such as brokers' organizations, mul­ tiple listing services or other facili­ ties related to the selling or renting of housing. Houaing covered by the 1968 Fair Houaing Lew Prohibitions contained in the Fair Housing 1 aw apply to the following types of housing Single-Family housing owned by private individuals when: a broker or other person in the business of selling or renting dwellings is used and/or; discriminatory advertising is used; Single-Family houses not owned by private individuals; Single-Family houses owned by a private individual who owns more than three such houses or who, in any two-year period, sells more than one in which the individual was not the most recent resident; M u ltifam ily dwellings of five or more units; M ultifam ily dwellings containing four or fewer units, i f the owner does not reside in one of the units.
