I. Introduction and Executive Summary

A. Background Orange County continuously undertakes various housing and community development programs intended to develop viable urban communities with decent housing and a suitable living environment, and to expand economic opportunities, especially for low- to moderate-income persons. To carry out those programs and associated activities, the County seeks funding from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under 24 CFR Parts 91 and 570, the Consolidated Planning process. The Consolidated Planning process combines major federal grants, such as the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), the HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME), and the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG).

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has a commitment to eliminate discriminatory practices in housing and an obligation, under Section 808 of the Fair Housing Act, to encourage the adoption and enforcement of fair housing laws in federally funded housing and community development programs. Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and implementing regulations in 24 CFR Part 1 prohibit discrimination in any program or activity funded in whole or in part with federal funds made available under this part. In addition to its responsibility for enforcing other Federal statutes prohibiting discrimination in housing, HUD has a statutory obligation under Section 109 of the HCD Act of 1974, Title I, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, age, religion, and sex within Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs or activities.

As a requirement for receiving these entitlement funds, jurisdictions must submit a certification to HUD to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing, the prerequisite to which is the completion of an Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice.

B. Structure This 2016-2020 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) is an update to the 2011-2016 Analysis of Impediments that reflects changes in the jurisdictional background data, assesses progress towards overcoming fair housing impediments and challenges identified for both public and private sectors by the previous Analysis, and it states whether or not recommended actions to overcome identified impediments were taken. This analysis also describes any new impediments that have been identified based on the analysis
