2025 Fair Housing Event (City of Ocala)

Fair Housing Act 57th Anniversary Celebration

Join the City of Ocala Community Development Services for a special public event honoring the 57th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act. This celebration will take place on Thursday, April 17, 2025, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Mary Sue Rich Community Center at Reed Place (1821 NW 21st Avenue).

Signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on April 11, 1968, the Fair Housing Act is a landmark federal law that prohibits discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, and familial status. It also ensures that federal housing programs actively promote fair housing and provide avenues for addressing discrimination.

This event is made possible through partnerships with Community Legal Services, the Housing Finance Authority, and the Ocala Housing Authority. Guests will hear from insightful speakers and enjoy a complimentary dinner as we reflect on the progress of fair housing and the work that still lies ahead.

We invite you to be part of this important conversation and celebration!
