Purpose of Survey

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires jurisdictions that receive certain federal funds to prepare an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) to identify and analyze barriers to equal access to housing choice, and then develop strategies to remove those barriers.  
 
As a recipient of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds, Everett is in the process of updating the 2011 AI. 
 
Community and stakeholder engagement is a critical part of the AI and ensures the public has an opportunity to provide input during the process.
 
This survey has been designed to elicit input from current and former housing providers (e.g., property managers, landlords, real estate brokers, and mortgage lenders and originators) and their advocates (landlord associations and landlord attorneys).
 
Please take a few minutes to complete a survey to provide input on your experience with fair housing issues in the provision of housing in Everett.
 
Please contact Marley Hochendoner at (509) 209-2667 or execdir@nwfairhouse.org if you have questions about this survey or the AI.
