  • Momsrising HUD Book.Pdf
    Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity John Trasviña U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 451 7th Street S.W., Washington, DC 20410 Dear Assistant Secretary Trasviña, As you know all too well, there’s hardly a need more basic than shelter for our families. And when trying to rent or buy a home, everyone should get a fair shake. Unfortunately, many women and families in search of a home do not know their rights. And many lenders and landlords who figuratively – or even literally – “hold the keys” to a family’s new home are either ignorant of the laws prohibiting discrimination against mothers and families or worse, willfully disobeying them. All too often, mothers are discriminated against in our country in terms of hiring and wages, and housing dis- crimination on the basis of familial status are equally illegal and unacceptable. Your commitment to fighting this discrimination is an inspiration and MomsRising and our more than one mil- lion members (including mother, fathers, grandparents and guardians working to achieve economic security for American families) are proud to have partnered with you in that effort. In the last several months, MomsRising has heard from many credit-worthy pregnant women and mothers across the country who are being denied home loans or rentals apartments solely because they are on maternity leave or have children. You will find a selection of these heartbreaking and infuriating stories in this booklet. The members of MomsRising applaud HUD for your groundbreaking work to end housing discrimination against pregnant women and mothers. This booklet contains the names of over 14,000 mothers and their allies who have signed on to thank HUD and to urge the agency to continue to vigorously enforce fair housing laws as relates to mothers who seek to rent or buy a home.

    New On Video & DVD Rockford Files Season 5 This classic detective series successfully marries comedy with drama to cre- ate an Emmy-winning formula. The ever-charming James Garner plays the title character, Jim Rockford. Formerly imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit, Rockford now makes a (meager) living as a private eye living in Malibu--in a mobile home. Specializing in reopening closed cases, the aloof ex-con's investigations involve frequent run-ins with thieves, killers, and the police. With an irreverent wit and frequent beatings that separate him from other detective characters of the day, Rockford remains one of TV's most memorable men. This release includes all 22 episodes of the fifth season. Guest stars include Tom Selleck, Ed Harris, John Pleshette, and Harold Gould. Disc 1 includes the following episodes: "Heartaches of a Fool," "Rosendahl and Gilda Stern Are Dead," "The Jersey Bounce" and "White on White and Nearly Perfect."
