Specifications include, but are not limited to: The most recent Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice was prepared in 2019 for the Rock County HOME Consortium. This analysis is proposed to be updated on a county-wide basis with individual analyses, objectives, and actions for the cities of Beloit and Janesville and Greater Rock County. The updated “Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice” must include the following: • A comprehensive review of the laws, regulations, and administrative policies, procedures, and practices in place in the City of Beloit, City of Janesville, and Rock County. • An assessment of how those laws, regulations, and administrative policies, procedures, and practices affect the location, availability, and accessibility of housing. • An assessment of actions or omissions in the public sector that may affect housing choice including public housing, community development, transportation, and community services. • An assessment of private sector housing market issues and activities to determine whether fair housing objectives are being served including banking and insurance policies and practices, sales and rental of housing and real estate practices, availability of programs that may be used to provide financial assistance for accessibility improvements to housing, and the discriminatory provision of housing brokerage services. • The identification of impediments to fair housing choice for each jurisdiction, which includes any actions, omissions, or decisions taken because of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin that restrict housing choices or the availability of housing choice. • The identification of any affirmatively furthering fair housing (AFFH) actions that have been taken by the jurisdictions and which ones should be continued, strengthened, initiated, or ended. • The identification of a clear set of objectives with measurable results for each jurisdiction.
