such needs.
C. FHF is a non - profit corporation with substantial expertise in
dealing with all facets of housing discrimination and fair housing
activities.

plementing and operating a fair housing program for the City and its
citizens.
E. FHF is desirous of providing such services.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:
1. FHF will develop, implement and operate a fair housing pro-
gram for the City of Lynwood and its citizens as described on Attach-

trained personnel to respond to Lynwood resident requests for service
and shall provide such backup and support services as shall be re-
quired to implement and operate the program.
