  • CITY of SOUTH GATE Draft Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI)
    CITY OF SOUTH GATE Draft Analysis of Impediments To Fair Housing Choice (AI) Community Development Department July 14, 2020 SECTION I INTRODUCTION SECTION I INTRODUCTION A. FORMAT OF THE AI REPORT The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has not issued regulations defining the scope of analysis and the format to be used by grantees when they prepare their Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). In 1996, HUD published a Fair Housing Planning Guide which includes a “Suggested AI Format.” Because this Guide is the only official guidance provided by HUD to grantees on how to prepare and organize an AI, South Gate’s AI conforms to the format suggested by HUD. Section I Introduction: The Introduction presents the AI report format; South Gate’s regional setting, purpose of the report, fair housing definition, lead agency, funding, and progress made toward implementing the 2015-2020 AI. Section II Fair Housing Action Plan: Section II describes the conclusions and recommendations resulting from the AI analysis. It identifies impediments to fair housing choice and the actions that will be taken to remove or ameliorate impediments during the FY 2020/2021 to FY 2024/2025 time period. Actions to affirmatively further fair housing also are described in the Fair Housing Action Plan. Section III Fair Housing Legal Status: This Section discusses fair housing complaints and compliance reviews and other information pertaining to South Gate’s fair housing legal status. Section IV: City Background Data: HUD advises grantees to include in the AI “jurisdictional background data” on demographics, income, employment, housing and other relevant data.

The single biggest headline came with marriage equality, bringing to a victorious conclusion a brilliant, hard-fought, decades-long campaign. Yet marriage was far from the only story. 2015 also brought unprecedented visibility to transgender people and concerns; added protections for LGBTQ students in California; and success in turning back almost all of the anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ legislation put forward in states across the country. The past year was a big one for Horizons Foundation as well. We awarded more than $3.8 million in grants to nonprofits that advocate for, serve, and celebrate our community in the Bay Area and beyond – the most ever in our 35 years. We are proud of all the remarkable organizations supported this past year, and to share the stories of just a few, as told in their own voices, in this report.
