Fair Housing Implementation Council

Contact us

The Fair Housing Implementation Council (FHIC) is composed of cities, counties, community development agencies and housing and redevelopment authorities who coordinate metro-wide efforts to affirmatively further fair housing and promote fair housing choice regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, family status, creed, sexual or affectional orientation, marital status or receipt of public assistance. Most of the funding members of the FHIC are recipients of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) and/or Housing for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) dollars which have goals to affirmatively further fair housing.

Funding members of the FHIC include Ramsey, Anoka, Hennepin, Carver, Dakota, Scott, Washington, Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Minneapolis, Plymouth, Saint Paul, Woodbury and Metropolitan Council Cities/Counties/Community Development Agencies/Housing and Redevelopment Authorities.
