The conference theme is
"Know Your Housing Rights: The Fair Housing Laws."
Joining the City of Raleigh as sponsors are Legal Aid of North Carolina, Wake
County, AT&T, the Town of Cary and the N.C. Housing Finance Agency.
The conference will focus on building inclusive communities that provide

hours of general CLE.

Raleigh Convention Center. The keynote speaker will be Sara Pratt, deputy
assistant secretary in the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity of the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. She will address fair housing
on the national level and the requirements for states receiving federal funds to
further fair housing. She also will talk about revised HUD requirements that
require local governments to take a more realistic look at impediments to fair
housing choice.
The session on Saturday, April 30, will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Martin
Street Baptist Church, 1001 E. Martin St. N.C. Court of Appeals Judge Wanda
