April is Fair Housing Month, and this episode of Ames in Focus explores what that means for the Ames community. Host Bill Gebhart is joined by Vanessa Baker-Latimer, Housing Coordinator for the City of Ames, along with Beth Skluzacek from the Iowa Board of Realtors. Together, they discuss why fair housing still matters, how to recognize housing discrimination, and the role local partnerships play in creating more equitable opportunities for residents.
They also highlight how Ames is bringing awareness to the community this month, including a City Council proclamation on Tuesday, April 14, a social media trivia campaign with prizes, and an upcoming panel discussion on April 22 at 9 a.m. at the Iowa Board of Realtors education center. The panel will bring together experts to share insights, answer questions, and connect residents with resources.
