Housing Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes - Final January 8, 2018

 Activities of past Fair Housing Months have included banners in downtown,
 educational seminars, and City Council proclamations. The banners are
 scheduled to be displayed in downtown again this year. Commissioners
 suggested additional outreach via social media, an article in the Naperville
 Connected, and distribution of materials to real estate agents. Haber-Kovach
 will email real estate contacts to staff for distribution of fair housing month
 materials. It was noted that it is likely too short of a timeframe to hold the fair
 housing training during this year’s fair housing month.

G. REPORTS:

1. Receive the report regarding the Fair Housing Training/Education request for proposals
 (RFP).
 The RFP is scheduled to be released within the next week or so, with
 responses due in about a month. Fischer provided staff with a copy of the fair
 housing training materials from the last time such a training was held.

2. Receive the report from the housing choice voucher education sub-committee.

 No sub-committee meeting is currently scheduled.

3. Receive the report regarding progress on the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing
 Choice (AI) action items.
 Work on the action items has begun with the initial focus on fair housing training
 for City staff and Commissions. Information about legal source of income was
 updated and added to the City website in the fall.

 Fischer requested the potential appointment of a AI project manager be included
 on the agenda for the next HAC meeting.

4. Approve the minutes of the November 6, 2017 Housing Advisory Commission meeting.

 A motion was made by Fischer and seconded by Bernicky to approve the
