Council Member Williams inquires about CCHR's plans and resources for a campaign to promote awareness of the Fair Chance for Housing Act, which went into effect on January 1, 2025. CCHR representatives provide information on their upcoming campaign and current efforts.
- CCHR is preparing to launch a campaign for the Fair Chance for Housing Act
- The agency will use OTPS (Other Than Personal Services) funding for communications-related campaigns
- The campaign will include public transportation ads, except for subway advertising
- CCHR representatives were unable to provide immediate data on the number of entities trained about the new law

you on that matter.
1:15:51
Okay.
1:15:51
Just a few more questions for community engagement.
1:15:56
So when the Fair Chance and Employment Act went into effect in 2015, CCHR had lots of ads on public transit letting people know this law was in effect.
1:16:06
Now the Fair Chance for Housing Act went into effect 01/01/2025.
1:16:11
What resources does CCHR need to run a campaign akin to what was run for Fair Chance for Employment Act?
1:16:23
So what resources are needed?
1:16:27
Will funds allow for a robust campaign with subway and bus advertising and what more would be required?

We currently are about to get ready to launch a campaign now, so we do use our OTPS funding for comms related campaigns and as I mentioned beginning very soon because we just got the contract approved, we'll be able to to do a similar campaign.
