Community Advocates Drive the Ruby Thomas Toy Giveaway and Advance Fair Housing, Education, and Homeownership Support Across Nevada

Roland Daniels and Heidi Griffith discuss the Ruby Thomas toy drive, which has collected over 700 gifts for children at Ruby Thomas, a school where all students receive free meals and many are unhoused. They also highlight the Silver State Fair Housing Council, which ensures equal housing opportunities. Kate Zook, the council's executive director, explains the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability. The council offers training and testing to identify housing discrimination and provides resources and support for those affected. They also mention the Workers Advantage Program, offering up to $20,000 in down payment assistance for eligible Nevada residents.
