Affordable Housing Research

The Whittier Alliance participated in a regional survey by the Fair Housing Implementation Council (FHIC) as an Addendum to its 2014 Analysis of Impediments (AI).  FHIC has hired Mosiac Community Planning to identify underserved stakeholders and create a survey process to identify impediments.  For more information about this process, see Mosaic's Community Engagement toolkit. Below you will find links to summaries and data collected from our December 2015 Community Issues meetings, three Affordable Housing focus groups, an Affordable housing electronic survey, Housing maps from our Asset Mapping project and more as we get it.
