麻州大都會區域計畫會（MAPC）為協助昆市住家聯盟（Quincy HOME Consortium）製作一份南岸地區的“公平住房選擇障礙分析（Analyses of Impediments to
Fair Housing Choice (簡稱AIs)）”，將從四月二日起，一連舉辦三場講座。
南岸住家聯盟包括昆市，碧樹（Braintree），好布魯克（Holbrook），米爾頓（Milton），衛矛斯（Waymouth）等市鎮。
這一系列論壇，將就公平住宅一事，徵詢民眾遭遇的問題，協助他們去除障礙，分析相關公平住宅資訊，辨識問題所在，並為地方或區域政府機構確認目標，採取促進公平住宅的行動。
1968年的民權法第八章，俗稱公平住宅法，規定在房屋的出售，出租，或融資上，不可因種族，膚色，宗教，性別，或原始國籍而有歧視。1988年的修訂案，再把規定擴大到不可因殘障，各人家庭狀況而有歧視，例如有十八歲以下子女，懷孕婦女等。
論壇舉行的時間，都是晚上七至九點，日期及地點，分別為四月二日在昆士市的市政府大樓（1305 Hancock
Street, Quincy），四月十六日在衛矛斯鎮政府大樓的鎮議員議事廳（75 Middle St, Weymouth），五月十四日在碧樹鎮大樓的Johnson室（75
Middle St, Weymouth）。每場論壇都以英文，中文進行，並提供簡便晚餐。
Please consider joining the forums & spread the word.

What is fair housing 什麼是公平住房？
Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, commonly known as the Fair Housing Act, prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The 1988 Fair Housing Amendments Act expanded coverage to prohibit discrimination based on disability or familial status (presence of child under age of 18 and pregnant women) and established new enforcement mechanisms for HUD and the Department of Justice.
1968年民權法第八章，俗稱公平住房法：禁止在房屋出售、出租、融資以及其他與住宅房地產相關交易的過程中實行基於種族，膚色，宗教，性別和原國籍的歧視，1988年公平住房法案的修訂更擴大覆蓋範圍，禁止基於殘疾或家庭狀況（定義為有未滿18歲的兒童和孕婦同住）的歧視﹐並替住房及城市開法部和司法部設立新的執法機制。
The Metropolitan Area Planning Council, in partnership with the Quincy HOME Consortium, is in the process of identifying goals and actions to advance fair housing on the South Shore. As part of this effort, MAPC and the Consortium will be hosting three public forums to solicit comments on its Regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing (RAI).
All meetings are open to the public and each will address fair housing in all five Consortium communities (Quincy, Weymouth, Braintree, Holbrook, and Milton).
The forum schedule is as follows:
April 2, 7-9pm - Quincy City Hall, 1305 Hancock Street, Quincy. This hearing will include a discussion of each community in the Consortium, their fair housing needs and issues, and the capacity of those communities to address the needs identified. RSVP: http://bit.ly/RAI_Quincy
April 16, 7-9pm - Weymouth Council Chambers of Weymouth Town Hall, 75 Middle St, Weymouth. This meeting will address fair housing priorities, goals, and strategies: RSVP: http://bit.ly/RAI_Weymouth
May 14, 7-9pm - Johnson Chambers of Braintree Town Hall, 1 JFK Memorial Drive, Braintree. This meeting will focus on a discussion of the final draft of the RAI. RSVP: http://bit.ly/RAI_Braintree
