The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (“TDHCA”), General Land Office (“GLO”), Department of State Health Services (“DSHS”), and the Texas Department of Agriculture (“TDA”) are requesting public input for the development of the state’s draft Analysis of Impediments (“AI”) to Fair Housing Choice.
Public consultation will take place during June and July 2018 with 40 meetings held throughout the state, along with four conference calls, to gather input on the needs and goals of Texans for future use of federal program funds. To view all of the AI events, please visit TDHCA’s online calendar at: http://www.tdhca.state.tx.us/events/index.jsp?eventTypeID=all&showNum=20 and select “Fair Housing Listings” in the “Future” drop-down menu.
Feedback regarding fair housing issues, particularly issues affecting protected classes under the Fair Housing Act: race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, and familial status; and the ability of those persons to exercise housing choice is welcome.
Details regarding the development of the draft AI is available at: https://www.tdhca.state.tx.us/fair-housing/analysis-impediments.htm.
For more information about the draft AI to Fair Housing Choice, please contact TDHCA Fair Housing Research Specialist Nathan Darus at 512-475-0306 or at [email protected].
