At last nights city council meeting, Mayor Tom Ross read a Mayoral Proclamation recognizing May as Mental Health Awareness Month. Designating May as Mental Health Awareness Month holds significant importance in fostering community understanding, support, and action towards mental well-being. By officially recognizing this observance, the mayor brings attention to a critical aspect of public health, encouraging conversations and initiatives aimed at promoting mental wellness and reducing stigma.

Help us provide emergency shelter to our youth today!

This month all over the state of North Dakota we commemorate Fair Housing Month with trainings, panel discussions, movies, library displays, and city and state proclamations celebrating this important legislation. The Fair Housing Act, passed days after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., aimed to do two things:
- Eradicate discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, s*x (including gender identity and s*xual orientation), national origin, disability, and familial status
- Promote residential Integration
