As a recipient of federal funds for affordable housing, the City of Newton and the WestMetro HOME Consortium is required to affirmatively further fair housing in its programs and policies and its commitments of resources. Fair housing planning consists of three components: (1) conducting an analysis of impediments to fair housing choice or an “AI”, (2) identifying actions to eliminate any identified impediments, and (3) maintaining records that identify the City’s efforts to affirmatively further fair housing.
The Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice is a comprehensive review and evaluation of municipal housing, economic and transportation conditions, as well as public and private sector policies that affect housing choices and opportunities in Newton and across the 13-community WestMetro HOME Consortium.
In 2008, the City’s Fair Housing Task Force (now the Fair Housing Committee) developed a Fair Housing Action Plan. The Fair Housing Action Plan identifies specific actions and implementation strategies to address the obstacles to fair housing choice identified in the Analysis of Impediments.
