The State of Oregon has completed its 2021-2025 Analysis of Impediments to Furthering Fair Housing (AI) which covers a comprehensive review of the statewide structural barriers to Fair Housing. This document has been utilized as a planning source to affirmatively further fair housing and increase housing choice for protected classes of Oregonians. Business Oregon is administering the State Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) Program from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”). Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, known as the Fair Housing Act, requires HUD and recipients of federal funds from HUD to affirmatively further fair housing. Business Oregon is required to take steps to further fair housing and address some deficiencies identified in the AI that can be positively impacted through the Agency’s means.
