- Division of Community Development
- The State of Florida receives annual funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The State agencies receiving these funds are the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO), Department of Health (DOH), Department of Children and Families (DCF), and the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC). As a recipient of these funds, Florida is required to prepare an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). The AI is a five (5) year planning document that identifies impediments to fair housing choice and includes actions to be implemented to overcome these impediments. The Department of Economic Opportunity has been designated as the lead agency for preparing the AI on behalf of the State agencies that are recipients of HUD funding.
As citizen participation is a vital component in the development of this study, five public meetings will be held throughout the state to allow citizens the opportunity to provide comment on impediments to fair housing choice.
