Dear Community Partners
Consistent with HUD regulations that guide our CDBG and HOME funding, the Contra Costa Consortium is hosting 2 focus group meetings that will inform our Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice for 2010-2015.  We invite and encourage your agency/organization to attend one of these facilitated discussions.  Because of your interactions with tenants, landlords, homeowners, property managers and service providers that work with these groups, your perspective and observations are crucial for the creation of a relevant document that can actually guide our work and educate our policies.  This information can help us provide better protections against discrimination to Contra Costa County residents.
