HUD is requiring that King County amend the Interlocal Cooperation Agreements (ICAs) with partner cities to include language related to fair housing and civil rights obligations. The language in the ICAs must reflect what King County is doing in practice. King County certifies annually that they are meeting the required obligations related to fair housing and civil rights.
