"The Fair Housing Committee"
Drive Planned For Low Income Housing
The Register, June 27, 1968
"The need for low income housing is reaching a crisis,"
Barnstable Selectman Thomas Murphy told members of the
Fair Housing Committee on Cape Cod
and visitors at a recent meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Barnet.
"While 24% of the population of Barnstable earns under $3000.00 annually, the town now contains only 40 low cost housing units,"
Mr. Murphy said.
The Fair Housing Committee
plans to sponsor articles for low income housing in the
1969 Barnstable Town Warrant.
Hoping to bring the housing crisis to the attention of the public, the
Fair Housing Committee
voted to join with the
Community Council, the
Community Action Program and the
NAACP In holding
Capewide open hearings in the fall where people of low incomes who have tried to rent can tell of their experiences.
Procedures to help complainants in cases of suspected discrimination were discussed.
Mrs. Elizabeth Mitchell, treasurer,
Mrs. Emarson Mosely,
John Coe, and
Selectman Murphy
reported on visits to area newspapers to discuss real estate advertising practices.
Other committee members at the meeting were Mrs. James Eteson, vice-president,
Louis Jacobucci,
Mrs. Cecil Holt.
Harold Hutcheson,
Harold Perkins, and
Mrs. Henry Fitzgerald, and new members
Mrs. Martin Kapp and
Mrs. Brenda Pochay.
People in the community with problems of discrimination in housing are encouraged to call the committee's new emergency number, 362-6979.

"You fantasize."
