The rules of planning have evolved...
In 2015, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development established a new planning process requiring federal grantees to identify, evaluate, and address fair housing issues and factors contributing to these issues.
Getting Started
Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing
The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination through the process of “affirmatively furthering fair housing” (AFFH). The final AFFH rule is intended to provide local governments and public housing authorities more effective means to further the purpose of the Fair Housing Act.
Regional Housing Assessment
In accordance with the AFFH planning process, the Regional Housing Assessment is divided into three interrelated parts: (1) Data Collection and Fair Housing Analysis; (2) Community Participation; and (3) Development of Goals and Priorities.
Timeline
The Regional Housing Assessment is a year-long research project taking place from January 2017 through January 2018. The analysis is being performed for each participating jurisdiction as well as the Dallas Fort Worth Metropolitan area which covers 13 counties.
