Title
Presentation: Preliminary Update of 2014 Lake County Analysis Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI)
Staff Summary
• The purpose of an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice is to provide Lake County stakeholders with an overview of fair housing, provide factual data, and identify both existing impediments to fair housing choice and potential actions to address the identified impediments, as well as satisfying its obligations as a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant recipient.
• In 2014, Lake County Board approved an Analysis of Impediments (AI) co-authored by a local consulting firm, Applied Real Estate Analysis, Inc. (AREA) and Community Development staff. Lake County is still working to overcome many of the 20 impediments identified in 2014.
• As Lake County prepares its new 2020 - 2024 Consolidated Plan for funding from HUD, it is appropriate for the new five-year plan to be aligned with the AI as was the 2015 - 2019 Consolidated Plan. At this meeting and public hearing, Community Development will provide an update on the 20 impediments - and progress on the strategies to overcome those impediments - identified in the attached 2014 AI.
