Public meetings will begin in July to develop
City of Dallas Assessment of Fair Housing
Dallas - The City of Dallas will hold a series of public meetings in July to inform residents about the Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) and provide an opportunity for all to participate in the AFH planning process.
The AFH is a legal requirement that the City must complete to continue receiving federal housing and community development funds from the United States Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD). Specifically, the AFH is analysis of fair housing data, an assessment of housing issues and contributing factors, and identification of fair housing priorities and goals specific to Dallas.
Examples of fair housing issues include regional demographics, segregation, racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty, access to opportunity, disproportionate housing need, publicly supported housing, access to persons with disabilities, and fair housing enforcement and outreach capacity.
Residents, businesses, nonprofit organizations and/or churches in the Dallas metropolitan area are encouraged to attend and provide input. Those unable to attend the meetings can submit written comments to the Fair Housing and Human Rights Office, Dallas City Hall, 1500 Marilla, Room 1BN, Dallas, TX 75201 or email bronson.inyabri@dallascityhall.com.
