HUD to assist in defraying the cost of processing charges of housing discrimination under the
City's Fair Housing Ordinance The FWHRC has functioned under a similar contract with the U S

At a meeting held October 2, 1996, the Human Relations Commission voted unanimously to
recommend acceptance of this contract
