Fair housing conference planned in Louisville

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The Kentucky Commission on Human Rights is planning a one-day conference focusing on fair housing issues.

The one-day conference is set for next Tuesday in Louisville.

Commission officials say the conference will look at the status of fair housing issues in Kentucky. They say the event will highlight efforts in the past year to reduce housing-related discrimination.

Officials say the conference should be of particular interest to community representatives, human rights advocates, real estate agents, housing finance representatives, government officials and members of the legal community.

Two sessions are planned on Tuesday — one in the morning and the other in the afternoon.

The conference will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. EDT at the Brown Hotel.
