Notice of Public Comment Period and Public Hearing - FY 2025-2029 Orange County Regional Assessment of Fair Housing

As a recipient of CDBG funds, the City of Laguna Niguel is required to comply with the Fair Housing Act of 1968. In addition to prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, religion, disability, and other protected personal and familial attributes, the City is required to affirmatively further fair housing. The Orange County Regional Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) is the primary policy document utilized by the City for this purpose. HUD encourages jurisdictions to consult with one another and initiate metropolitan-wide planning to address impediments to fair housing choice. To this end, the City is a participant in the preparation of the FY 2025-2029 Orange County Regional AFH. The draft FY 2025-2029 Orange County Regional AFH is available for public review and comment from March 14 to April 14, 2025. The City Council will consider adopting the FY 2025-2029 Orange County Regional AFH at its May 6, 2025, City Council meeting.
