The St. Lawrence County Fair Housing Task Force and CNY Fair Housing are hosting two workshops on Thursday, October 23rd at 2 pm and 6 pm, respectively at the Community Center at 161 Beach Street in Massena. These events will focus on fair housing essentials such as fair housing laws prohibiting discrimination based on protected classes and NYS compliance issues related to advertising, reasonable accommodations/modifications, and the tenant screening process. The workshops will consist of a 90-minute long presentation with time allotted for questions and answers. Both presentations will be delivered by Sally Santangelo, Executive Director of CNY Fair Housing. These workshops are free and open to the public: Renters, landlords, service organizations, local justices and government officials are especially encouraged to participate. Participants have the opportunity to attend a session in the afternoon, or in the evening. To register, visit:
