OPENING DOORS: OPENING MINDS, GULF COAST FAIR HOUSING CENTER 4TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE PROMISES TO BE INFORMATIVE
2008 marks the 40th anniversary of the federal Fair Housing Act. April has been declared Fair Housing month in a recent proclamation by President Bush. Cities across the Gulf Coast have joined President Bush by also declaring this month Fair Housing Month and commending the Gulf Coast Fair Housing Center. To commemorate Fair Housing month, the Beau Rivage Casino Resort along with Bancorp South will host the Gulf Coast Fair Housing Center 4th Annual Fair Housing conference.
This year’s theme, “Opening Doors: Opening Minds” will explore how individual’s minds are opened when they live in integrated communities. “In this time of rebuilding the Coast it is so important that recovery isn’t hindered by illegal discrimination. The Gulf Coast Fair Housing Center is hosting this conference to inform the community about their rights.” explains GCFHC Executive Director Charmel Gaulden.

FORECLOSURES HURT ENTIRE COMMUNITIES NOT JUST INDIVIDUAL HOMEOWNERS
During 2008 and 2009, the Center for Responsible Lending forecasts foreclosures of subprime mortgages will result in the loss of $233 billion in wealth for 44.5 million homeowners that pay their mortgages faithfully due to the declination of property values.
Joyce Hutson of Gulfport says, “Without the help from GCFHC my husband and I would be experiencing the same foreclosure difficulties as a lot of the Gulf Coast homeowners that had mortgage problems from Katrina and also homeowner’s from across the nation caught in the national mortgage crisis.” Over the past two years, the Gulf Coast Fair Housing Center has received nearly a hundred inquires of homeowners facing foreclosure. Questions have poured into GCFHC about the options homeowners face across the Gulf Coast.
GCFHC will host a Hurricane Relief Project Intake Clinic on Friday March 7 from 1:30pm – 4:30 pm. Intake counselors will be available at the Orange Grove Branch Library located at 12031 Mobile Avenue Gulfport, MS 39503. To learn more or to download the press release, click here.
