City Council

B. Request to Add and Proclaim the Month of April as Fair Housing Month and Donate Life Month to the Approved List of Proclamations for Year 2026 The Fair Housing Foundation and OneLegacy have each requested that the Rosemead City Council proclaim the month of April in recognition of their respective causes. The Fair Housing Foundation is requesting a proclamation declaring April as Fair Housing Month, while OneLegacy is requesting a proclamation declaring April as DMV/Donate Life Month. April has been recognized as Fair Housing Month since the enactment of federal fair housing legislation in 1968. Each year, national organizations promote awareness of equal housing opportunities through various events and educational activities. Additionally, April is observed as DMV/Donate Life Month. This nationwide effort raises awareness about organ, eye, and tissue donation and encourages individuals to register as donors often when applying for or renewing a driver’s license or identification card at their local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Recommendation: That the City Council approve the request to add the Fair Housing Month and Donate Life Month Proclamations to the list of Approved Proclamations list for Year 2026 and schedule the presentations to a subsequent City Council meeting.
