Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing
Posted by Department of Housing and Community Development on October 31, 2016
Last week, the Philadelphia Housing Authority and the City’s Division of Housing and Community Development released their Assessment of Fair Housing in response to HUD’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) rule, which requires analyzing fair housing obstacles to access and establishing measurable benchmarks for the future. The goal of the assessment is to develop strategies for increasing opportunities and ensuring equitable, inclusive communities.
Both the full report and the Executive Summary can be found here along with the City’s press release.
