UPDATE TO FAIR HOUSING ANALYSIS OF IMPEDIMENTS IMPEDIMENT 5— LACK OF ECONOIMC OPPORTUNITY AND TRANSPORTATION ISSUES APRIL 2009

As part of the annual update to the City of Piqua’s Fair Housing Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, the City of Piqua has chosen to address the fifth impediment that was identified in the complete Analysis of Impediments last year, dealing with lack of economic opportunity and transportation issues.

It was previously reported that housing choice was severely limited for certain protected classes due to lack of economic opportunity and transportation issues that existed within the City of Piqua. A current analysis of the trends presented in the original report remains with the community in 2009.

The previous census stated that the per capita income in the city was estimated to be $18,719, well below the county’s average of $21,669. The median household income for the community in 2000 was reported to be $35,861 while the county amount was reported to be $41,109. In both instances, the city’s average was 13% below the county’s average. While the difference in income may appear to be significant, it should be reported that housing costs in the city of Piqua are generally lower than that of the county, taken as an entire entity. Therefore, residents of the community enjoy a comparable quality of life with residents of the entire county.

Over the year, more attempts have been made to increase fair housing opportunities by addressing economic issues faced by the community’s households. Primarily, through the City of Piqua’s Community Housing Improvement Program, the City of Piqua has re-introduced the popular Emergency Housing Assistance Program. The program, individuals and households that are at or below eighty percent of the area median income are allowed to receive assistance up to $1,200 for housing payments. The program is only designed for homeowners at this time in order to keep homes out of foreclosure. A review of the clients of the program show that roughly 33% of all awardees have female head of households and 17% of all awardees are African- American. There has been some discussion on increasing the assistance that is available to those that rent properties; however, a final decision has yet to be made as the main thrust of the program is to assist those facing foreclosure.

Economically, the city has struggled over the past year, repeating a story that is not unique among other communities in Western Ohio. There have been many jobs in the community that have been lost due to layoffs in the manufacturing sector and the community has received official WARN notices from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services about these closings. The community is having a very difficult time trying to deal with these layoffs since many of these factors that caused these layoffs are out the community’s control.
