Subject: Lynwood City Council will conduct a public hearing for citizens input on the
adoption of the City's Five-Year Analysis of Impediments (Al)for the period
of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2025
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 City's Al is currently available for public examination and copying. Persons interested
in reviewing the Al may do so by contacting Michelle G. Ramirez, Director of Community
Development, at (310) 603-0220, Ext. 605 or the City Clerk's Office at (310) 603-0220, Ext. 523,
or the Lynwood Library at (310) 635-7121. Citizens wishing to comment on the Al must do so in
writing. Written comments will be accepted for a period of 30 days from June 8, 2020 or until 6:00
p.m. on July 7, 2020. Written comments must be addressed to:
