• Conduct an analysis of barriers to equal housing opportunity (as per 24 CFR part 570.904(c));
• Develop a strategy to overcome any barriers;
• Review local policy for impact on housing choice;
• Compile Fair Housing information and make it available to interested persons;
• Disseminate information and answer questions relating to fair housing laws;
• Assist aggrieved persons;
• Refer discrimination complaints to appropriate Federal or State agencies;
• Maintain a record of actions taken pursuant to this Plan;
• This Plan and related documents shall be posted in the Town Hall; and
• The Community Development Office shall advertise annually in the official newspaper the name and address of the Queensbury Fair Housing Officer.
