Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice
The Fair Housing Act requires HUD and its recipients of federal financial assistance to do more than simply not discriminate; they must take meaningful actions to overcome patterns of segregation and foster inclusive communities.
The City, as a recipient of Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnerships Program entitlement funds from HUD, must complete an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice alongside each Consolidated Plan. The Analysis of Impediments is broad and covers an array of public and private policies, practices, and procedures affecting housing choice.
As the City works to develop the Analysis of Impediments, there will be multiple opportunities for the community to be involved and provide feedback.
1. Survey
A community survey was open from October 3, 2004 - November 15, 2004. During that time, 252 people responded.
Four community meetings were held to collect further feedback from residents and stakeholders from community organizations and housing developers.
3. Public Comment
The City of Boise invites public comment on the draft Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice document. Public comments will be accepted from April 28 - May 28, 2025. Comments may be sent by email to housing@cityofboise.org, fax to 208-384-4195 or by mail (City of Boise, Attn: HCD, PO Box 500, Boise ID 83701).
