This planning effort contributes to meeting goals and obligations under the fair housing rules to affirmatively further fair housing. The requirement to affirmatively further fair housing is a condition of receiving funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).  The regional fair housing plan is a five-year plan that will cover 2025 through 2029 and aligns with the communities’ five-year Consolidated Plan process, which the communities plan to complete by June 30, 2025. Your feedback on potential actions to be taken under the plan to address fair housing concerns is requested!

Attend a community meeting!

Communities across the county are hosting in person and virtual meetings.  Residents have six opportunities to attend! These meetings will be facilitated discussions around the draft report findings, proposed actions to address them, and other fair housing considerations. Please share the word about these meetings and encourage others who may have valuable input to attend. Registration is not required to attend an in-person meeting and all residents are welcome to attend.  To attend a meeting virtually via Zoom on September 11 or 12, register https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=NWjEpVLSWkajWb4kAxkDtRt-grjZvXpFqU8L6rm09thUMVBNTlpGUlJLTkNXQURITzRKQjlMRFVJNi4u.
