Housing Equity Plan

Published on May 23, 2024

As a grant recipient of federal funds through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the City of Gainesville has committed to Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) and making concerted efforts to combat housing discrimination against protected classes.

The city is currently developing a Housing Equity Plan which examines barriers to fair housing and identifies priorities and goals to mitigate fair housing issues as required under the federal Fair Housing Act and state and local law.

We encourage Gainesville neighbors, housing and homeless partners, public service providers, and other stakeholders to engage through the various tools available.
