    2025/04/01

    Join us as a member of our staff sits down with a local community member and Board Member of Fair Housing Contact Service. This episode is the first of a brief series that we are working on as we celebrate and reflect on our agency turning 60 years old with interviews of our staff and board.


    Disclaimer: No one involved in the writing, editing, and production of this podcast are attorneys, therefore nothing stated within these episodes should be taken as legal advice. We would also like to stress that due to the nature of one-on-one interviews; nothing shared within this podcast series is a reflection of the agency as a whole. The basis of this series is to focus on what Fair Housing means to that person and what our agency means to them as an individual. These are inherently personal in nature and all interviewees/interviewers opinions are their own and do not reflect the mission or statements of Fair Housing Contact Service as a whole.


    Enjoy!

    Until next time!
