Community Engagement Public Meeting - County of Alameda Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETINGS

Notice is hereby given that the County of Alameda is in the process of conducting an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (Regional AI) and will be holding community engagement public meetings to elicit feedback from the County’s residents.

The Regional Analysis process, along with the documents that result from the Regional Analysis, are part of the requirement of jurisdictions that receive specific funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The purpose of the Regional AI is to gather data and community feedback, identify specific impediments or barriers to fair housing within Alameda County, and then to come up with viable solutions, or actions to take against identified impediments. 

The process of conducting a Regional AI involves collecting information from citizens through a survey, organizing and facilitating community engagement meetings, conducting consultations with various local and regional stakeholders, and analyzing numerous data sources and related resources.

Residents of Alameda County are encouraged to attend the community engagement meetings, of which the details are listed below, in order to share their opinions, ideas, and experiences.  Additionally, residents are also encouraged to fill out the Alameda County Housing Survey, which will be released on July 1st and can be accessed and completed by going to the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/housingsurvey_alameda2019. This survey will be available in Spanish and Traditional Chinese as well.  Paper copies of the survey can be obtained from local jurisdictions.

There will be three community engagement public meetings that will be held to provide information on the process of the Regional AI, as well as collect community feedback on issues surrounding housing in the region.  The following is a list of the public meeting dates, times, and locations:
