Describe cooperation and coordination with other public entities, including the State and any adjacent units of
general local government, in the implementation of the Consolidated Plan (91.215(l))
In PR-10 Consultation, as previously mentioned, the HRCHRB may dissolve during the Con Plan period as the various
units of local government that were involved in the regional organization have changed personnel and processes
to focus on fair housing. If the agency dissolves any funds held by the organization will be granted to other
organizations aligned with the same mission of fair access to housing for all citizens. Two such organizations
discussed were the southside and peninsula independence centers that advocate for fair housing for the disabled.
Newport News will continue to utilize Hampton Roads Community Action Program to handle actual fair housing
issues. The City again developed a survey which allowed public and nonprofit entities to provide input along with
private citizens on the issue of fair housing. The majority of those surveyed were unsure if there were any issues
with discrimination. When asked if any had experienced discrimination in housing only 17% felt they had been
discriminated against by a landlord or property owner. Of those that felt discriminated against they felt it was on
the basis of race/color, marital status and sources of income. And, only about 3% reported the issue of
discrimination because the rest felt it would not make a difference if reported.
