body
Presented By: [Kristin McCombe]
Recommendation and Review
[The city and the HRHA are in the process of preparing a joint Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) and have procured the services of Mullin, Lonergan, and Associates (M&L). Marjorie Willow of M&L has prepared a presentation for both the City Council and the HRHA Board of Commissioners at this joint public hearing.
The AFH is a legal requirement that both the city and the HRHA must complete in order to continue receiving federal housing and community development funding from the U.S. Dept. of Housing & Urban Development (HUD). The primary purpose of the public hearing is to present the draft AFH to City Council and the HRHA Board of Commissioners, including the goals to address any impediments to fair housing that were uncovered, and open the public display period.
At a second joint meeting on September 27, 2016, the City Council and HRHA Board of Commissioners will consider adoption of the AFH. It is the intent of city and HRHA to submit the regional AFH Plan to HUD on or before September 30, 2016.]
