HUD Releases Fair Housing Assessment Tool for Public Comment
HUD recently published a Notice in the Federal Register to release a new assessment tool for grantees to take advantage of when preparing Affirmatively Further Fair Housing (AFFH) plans. This new resource is meant to be used by each program participant to evaluate fair housing choice in their jurisdiction, to identify barriers to fair housing choice at the local and regional levels, and to set and prioritize fair housing goals to overcome such barriers and advance fair housing choice. The tool will ultimately simplify grantee’s AFFH plan submission by providing a template with guided questions, data and mapping tools. The Notice solicits public comments for a period of 60 days; comments are due on November 25.
