On October 7th, 2008 the Illinois Institute of Government and Public Affairs and Jane Addams Hull House Association will be co-sponsoring "The Next Forty Years of Fair Housing: Developing an Agenda for Integration". The day-long event will take place at UIC, 750 S Halsted (Illinois Rooms, Student Center East). Registration information will be coming shortly.

From the save the date card:

The year 2008 marks 40 years since the passage of the Fair Housing Act of 1968. The Act protects individual rights and fosters residential integration. This forward-looking conference will focus on research, policies, and programs that move beyond anti-discrimination enforcement to examine the barriers to integration. Researchers, policymakers, and community leaders from universities, government, and non-profit organizations will attend this conference and work towards an action agenda for the future. There will be four sessions: (1) Government Policy and Housing Integration, (2) Individual Behavior and Housing Integration, (3) Policies and Programs Promoting Integration, and (4) Developing an Action Agenda. Questions? Call 866-794-3340.

MoveSmart.org co-founders Justin Massa and Rob Breymaier are involved with planning the event, and MoveSmart.org will host a web-based forum to continue the development of an Action Agenda after the event.
