24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b) 1. Introduction Every five years, Bexar County must prepare a strategic plan (known as the Consolidated Plan) which governs the use of federal housing and community development grant funds that it receives from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). When preparing a Consolidated Plan, grantees must assess the needs and issues in their jurisdictions as a part of their preparation of these documents. The grant funds received from HUD by Bexar County that are covered in the Consolidated Plan include: • Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program • Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program • Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program Bexar County must also submit to HUD separate Annual Action Plans for each of the five years applications to HUD that are required for the county to receive the annual allocations from the three grant programs. These grants from HUD are known as Entitlement Grant Programs because communities receive the funds every year if they meet program requirements and rant program

Table 1 shows the number of organizations/programs available by county. Table 2 shows the un-duplicated names of service providers that were listed in the databases described below. Data Sources TexVet.org In the summer of 2015, TexVet.org provided information from their directory of services listing programs available to Veterans experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness from. TexVet.org is a website that provides a variety of information to Veterans, such as Peer Advocates, a Directory of Program, and events.

  • Non-Discrimination Ordinance
    TO: CHAMBER MEMBERSHIP FROM: BOARD OF DIRECTORS SUBJECT: CITY OF SAN ANTONIO NON-DISCRIMINATION ORDINANCE STATUS: ADOPTED DATE: 08/22/13 STATEMENT: The Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce supports non-discrimination policies that protect indiv iduals from discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age or disability . We also believ e that protections should include indiv iduals who may be discriminated against for their sexual orientation, gender identity or veteran status; therefore, The Chamber supports the City of San Antonio’s proposed Non-Discrimination Ordinance. BACKGROUND: The City of San Antonio’s first Non-Discrimination Ordinance was passed in 1994. Currently, 96% of the top Fortune 500 companies include employment protections for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) employees. In fact, several companies in San Antonio, both large and small, have already included similar employment protections. Fiv e of the state’s largest cities, including Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Ft. Worth, and Houston, all have similar LGBT protections in place. Throughout the United States, over 180 cities have enacted protections prohibiting discrimination against LGBT individuals such as Atlanta, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Memphis, and Phoenix. In addition, 21 states and the District of Columbia have passed laws prohibiting employment discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity. CURRENT POLICY: The City’s current Non-Discrimination Policy prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, or disability. PROPOSED POLICY: T he proposed ordinance additionally prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex ual orientation, gender identity and veteran status in the areas of city employment, city contracts and subcontracts, appointments to Boards and Commissions, Discriminatory Housing Practices and Places of Public Accommodation.

  • NFHA V. Facebook. Complaint W
    Case 1:18-cv-02689 Document 1 Filed 03/27/18 Page 1 of 52 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK NATIONAL FAIR HOUSING ALLIANCE; FAIR HOUSING JUSTICE CENTER, INC.; HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES PROJECT FOR Index No: 18 Civ. 2689 EXCELLENCE, INC.; FAIR HOUSING COUNCIL OF GREATER SAN ANTONIO, COMPLAINT Plaintiffs, v. FACEBOOK, INC., Defendant. I. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 1. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act (“FHA”), a statute intended to end discrimination in housing markets throughout the United States. For decades, the FHA has prohibited both publishers and advertisers from “targeting” ads based on sex, family status, disability, national origin, and other protected characteristics. 2. Given this milestone, it is all the more egregious and shocking that Defendant Facebook continues to enable landlords and real estate brokers to bar families with children, women, and others from receiving rental and sales ads for housing. Facebook has created a pre- populated list of demographics, behaviors, and interests that makes it possible for housing advertisers to exclude certain home seekers from ever seeing their ads. Facebook’s conduct is illegal under the FHA. 3. Housing advertising has of course changed in the last fifty years, moving beyond billboards, “for rent” signs, and classifieds in the newspaper, to online advertising. Facebook’s ability to customize an online audience for advertisements based on its vast trove of user data has Case 1:18-cv-02689 Document 1 Filed 03/27/18 Page 2 of 52 made it the biggest advertising agency in the world—the advertising platform of choice for millions of businesses.

The Transportation Plan Element advises on appropriate goals, policies and objectives as they relate to the vision of the city’s transportation network, the transportation/land use relationship, and how it connects and interacts with the region via all modes from walking to air travel. ROADWAY NETWORK The functional class system is used to group the city’s roads into different classes per the service that they provide. The city’s roads are grouped into six classes: interstate/expressways, principal arterials, minor arterials, parkways, major collectors and minor collectors. These functional classifications are defined in the 2012 Regional Transportation Plan, which provides the classifitcation for designing the roadway network. Interstate Expressways Interstates and expressways are designed with mobility and long-distance travel in mind. They should serve major centers of activity and the highest traffic volume corridors. These are typically multilane, divided roads with no at-grade intersections.
