FAIR HOUSING PLAN 2011: An Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice and the Strategies to Address Them

The task of this study is to evaluate the current situation in Multnomah County to determine: (1) whether impediments to fair housing confront protected classes; (2) if such impediments do exist, understand why they exist; (3) to set forth what is being done to eliminate these impediments; and (4) to make recommendations to address those impediments. DRO attorney Neisha Saxena served on the two advisory committees who helped develop this report, which included housing providers, housing stakeholders, community members, and Consortium staff. For several months, these two groups reviewed data sets, conducted interviews, and asked hard questions to identify actions and policies that restrict housing choice.
