Established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the AI is a structured process designed to help jurisdictions - like ours-- understand and evaluate our Fair Housing landscape.
The AI report represents a group profile of San Diego County, evaluates the degree of housing needs amongst specific income groups, and assesses the range of readily available housing options for locals. The AI likewise analyzes the conditions in the personal market and public sector that may limit the variety of housing choices or hinder an individual's access to housing. More notably, this AI determines obstacles that might avoid equivalent housing access and establishes solutions to alleviate or eliminate such impediments.
