ABOUT THE ASSESSMENT OF FAIR HOUSING

Jacksonville Housing's Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) looks at whether everyone has similar choices for housing regardless of their race, ethnicity, national origin, sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), religion, disability, or whether they have children. 

The AFH:    

• Identifies the primary conditions that limit fair housing access in Jacksonville;
• Recommends and prioritizes actions to address these limiting conditions in order to:  reduce segregation; eliminate racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty; reduce disparities in access to community assets; and reduce disproportionate levels of housing need for families with children, people with disabilities, and people of different races, ethnicities, and national origins;   
• And outlines goals, milestones, and metrics for implementing actions to address fair housing issues in Jacksonville.
