Fair Housing Program
Equal access to housing for all is an ideal secured by law. Fair Housing laws permit you to get the housing of your option, devoid of illegal discrimination.
Practicing Fair Housing
The City of San Diego is dedicated to furthering fair housing efforts by promoting fair and equal housing opportunities for its locals. It is dedicated to highlighting the Fair Housing Law, Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) by continuing to attend to discrimination in our community and to support programs that will inform the general public about the right to equal housing chances.
It is the City's policy to supply services without regard to race, color, origins, faith, national origin, age, gender, marital status, familial status, income, sexual preference or disability. This commitment reaches all programs offered by the City.
Fair housing can be defined as a condition in which individuals of comparable earnings levels in the same housing market have a like range of housing option readily available to them no matter race, color, origins, faith, national origin, age, gender, marital status, familial status, source of income, sexual preference or special needs.
What is Housing Discrimination?
Housing discrimination is unjustified or prejudicial treatment of people, in the location of housing and genuine estate, based on the individual's secured class.

Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI)
The City of San Diego, in combination with the San Diego Regional Alliance for Fair Housing, has actually finished the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) for Fiscal Year 2021 to 2025. Established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the AI is a structured procedure developed to help jurisdictions - like ours-- understand and examine our Fair Housing landscape.
The AI report represents a group profile of San Diego County, examines the degree of housing requirements amongst specific earnings groups, and examines the variety of offered housing choices for locals. The AI also analyzes the conditions in the personal market and public sector that may limit the variety of housing options or hinder a person's access to housing. More importantly, this AI determines obstacles that may prevent equal housing access and establishes options to mitigate or remove such obstacles. To view the complete report, please check out the following link.
