Already regarded as Alcohol Awareness Month, Holy Humor Month and Injury Prevention Month, April can add another nickname to its list of monikers.

Tonight, City Council is expected to approve a proclamation declaring April 2007 as Fair Housing Month in Santa Monica.

The proclamation is a way to honor the Fair Housing staff, working busily to protect consumers in the City Attorney’s Office.

“We’re happy to point out how important it is for residents to be protected in housing matters,” said Councilman Kevin McKeown.

The proclamation would help raise public awareness that housing discrimination is against the law and “will not be tolerated in Santa Monica,” said McKeown, an advocate for fair and affordable housing.

“In terms of fair housing, we’re doing really well,” McKeown said. “In terms of affordable housing, we are (facing) challenges, as is all of Southern California.”
