Fair Housing Plan (PDF)

The HUD Consolidated Plan’s certification to affirmatively further fair housing requires entitlement/participating jurisdictions to undertake a Fair Housing Plan (FHP).  In order to develop a Fair Housing Plan, the jurisdiction must develop an Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice that involves and addresses housing concerns of the entire community.
