The Town of Oakland is looking for a few good residents to volunteer to serve on Boards and Committees for the Town.   These do not require much time but are extremely important for the Town to function.    If you are interested, please stop by Town Hall and pick up an application.

Also, a vacancy exists on the West Orange Healthcare District Board of Trustees.  The Oakland Town Commission is one of ten organizations that nominate candidates to be considered for appointment by the Governor to this Board.  If you are interested in nomination to this Board, please contact the Town Manager at Oakland Town Hall.  townmanager@oaktownusa.com  

Fair Housing

The Town of Oakland has been notified of receipt of a Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for housing rehabilitation in the amount of $600,000.  In addition, Orange County is providing an additional $125,000 of HUD funds to assist with the same purpose.  A condition of this CDBG award agreement incorporates some new fair housing requirements that the Town post information on our website regarding fair housing rights and contact information for individuals should they want to make a fair housing complaint.  Thus, please be advised of the following:

The Town of Oakland is an advocate for Fair Housing (Town Ordinance #95-07).  If you feel you have been discriminated against, you may file a housing discrimination complaint at: 1-800-669-9777 (Toll Free) or 1-800-927-9275 (TTY) or locally, by contacting Dennis Foltz, Town Manager at (407) 656-1117.
