Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI)

As a recipient of federal community development block grant (CDBG) funds, the City of Citrus Heights is required to conduct an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, or AI. The AI is a planning process for local governments and public housing agencies (PHAs) to take meaningful actions to overcome fair housing barriers; including, historic patterns of segregation, promote fair housing choice, and foster inclusive communities that are free from discrimination.

The AI summarizes fair housing barriers and contributing factors that may affect the ability of a household to access housing of their choice. The AI outlines demographic patterns, housing challenges, and access to opportunity. The AI summarizes the goals and strategies to address fair housing barriers in the Sacramento Valley region.

In addition, community engagement was a key component throughout the development of the AI. The community engagement process for the Sacramento Valley AI included focus groups with residents and stakeholders, "pop up" engagement at local events, and a resident survey.

The AI was prepared by Root Policy Research and conducted for the Sacramento Valley region as a joint collaboration among the following entities: Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Folsom, Galt, Housing Authority of Sacramento, Isleton, Rancho Cordova, Rocklin, Roseville, Sacramento, Sacramento County, Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency, West Sacramento, Woodland, and Yolo County Housing.
