Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AFFH)

The City of Grover Beach is seeking a subcontractor to conduct an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AFFH) aimed at identifying systemic barriers that limit equitable access to housing opportunities within the community. This engagement requires comprehensive data analysis to evaluate existing housing patterns, demographic disparities, and institutional practices that may contribute to segregation or exclusion, as well as robust community engagement efforts to gather firsthand input from residents, advocates, and stakeholders. The subcontractor will be responsible for producing actionable recommendations that promote fair housing and guide equitable development strategies aligned with federal fair housing standards. The project is expected to culminate in a detailed report that supports the city’s compliance with federal housing obligations and advances inclusive community planning. Proposals must be submitted by August 15, 2026, and the work will be performed primarily in Grover Beach, California, with a ZIP code of 93433. The effort falls under NAICS code 541611, which classifies it as environmental consulting services, though the scope extends well beyond environmental concerns into social equity and urban policy. The subcontract is part of the city’s broader commitment to advancing fair housing through evidence-based policy and direct community involvement.
