PUBLIC NOTICE `d
TO ALL INTERESTED AGENCIES, GROUPS AND PERSONS
The City of Lynwood's Five-Year Analysis of Impediments (Al) for the period of
July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2025 will be available for public review and comment
beginning Monday, June 8, 2020. The City of Lynwood welcomes any
recommendations, suggestions, or other input on this Al.
The City's Al is a comprehensive review of policies, procedures, and practices
within Lynwood that effect the location, availability and accessibility of housing and the
current residential patterns and conditions related to fair housing choice. Fair housing
choice should be understood as the ability of persons of similar incomes to have
available to them the same housing choices, regardless of race, color, religion, sex,
disability, familial status or national origin. An impediment to fair housing choice is an
action, omission, or decision taken because of race, color, religion, sex, disability,
familial status or national origin that restricts housing choices or the availability of
housing choice. It is also any action, omission and/or decision that has this kind of
effect. Policies, practices or procedures that appear neutral on their face, but which
operate to deny or adversely affect the provision of housing to persons (in any particular
protected class) may constitute such impediments.
The analysis of impediments to fair housing choice in any community is a
delicate and tedious process. The City recognizes the effect that discrimination has in.
limiting housing choice and equal opportunity in renting, selling and financing housing.
The City continues its commitment to make a significant impact in affirmatively
furthering fair housing and eliminating impediments to fair housing choice by offering
housing programs without impediments based on race, color, religion, sex, disability,
familial status, or national origin. The City continually increases the awareness of the
availability and benefits of City programs regarding housing choice and housing
assistance through public information to the community. This information is distributed
to the community in a number of ways, including notices placed in newspapers, social
media outlets, and on the City's website. This proves to be a positive impact on the
community by ensuring that the community is aware of the different services provided
by the City of Lynwood.
The FY 2020-24 Al will be available for public examination and copying starting
Monday, June 8, 2020. Persons interested in reviewing the listed documents may do so
