• Police/Fire <br />o The front line in responding to domestic violence calls, <br />calls for medical assistance stemming from medical <br />health emergencies and other calls to multifamily <br />complexes. Police typically lead efforts to get landlords <br />to comply with crime free ordinances which sometimes <br />go too far and result in a disparate impact on protected <br />classes. Police officers should understand the <br />protections afforded by the civil rights laws. <br />• Housing/Community Development Department/Engineering <br />o Often involved in project development or operations, this staff should be <br />knowledgeable about community engagement strategies and zoning/land <br />use decisions. <br />• Inspections <br />o Two areas where inspections could interact with fair housing laws - direct <br />contact with clients who may be victims of discrimination through lack of <br />repairs or harassment or through code enforcement <br />• Elected Officials <br />o The decision makers, elected officials need to <br />understand how the policies and practices they <br />vote for and the community development <br />decisions they make affect protected classes <br />and community health. <br />• Public Health Staff <br />o The correlation between public health and safe, stable housing is becoming <br />clearer and clearer. Those who study community health impacts should also <br />understand the interaction with housing, including disparities in health <br />outcomes among people of color, families with children and new immigrant <br />populations. <br />•aPOLICE a• <br />•0FIRE DEPTc•• <br />.*AMBULANCE*. <br />23 <br />
