Carlsbad Housing Agency 2026-2030 5-Year Plan (Attachment B) are approved by the

Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing has provided direction to both individual cities and the

Fair Housing Goals:
Goal. All Carlsbad housing opportunities (ownership and rental, market rate and assisted) are offered in
conformance with open housing policies and free of discriminatory practices.
Strategies and Actions. With assistance from the City’s fair housing provider, the City will continue to offer
fair housing services to its residents and property owners. Services to be included:
Disseminating educational materials to landlords, property managers, and tenants
Issuing public announcements through diverse media channels (e.g., social media, newspaper
advertisements, and public service announcements on local radio and television)
Hosting workshops and training sessions in collaboration with various community groups
Addressing and investigating discrimination complaints, including intake procedures and resolution
efforts; Referring individuals to relevant services and agencies
Conducting randomized fair testing at various locations to assess compliance and rectify any
hindrances through the enforcement of fair housing laws; and
Sustaining collaborative efforts with the San Diego Regional Alliance for Fair Housing (SDRAFFH) to
advance fair housing, education, and advocacy. The SDRAFFH is also responsible for overseeing the
regional compilation of the Analysis of Impediments.
The City partnered closely with the San Diego Regional Alliance for Fair Housing to conduct the Analysis of
Impediments to Fair Housing for the fiscal years 2020-2025. This analysis identifies obstacles to fair housing
practices in the city, particularly in areas marked by racial and economic disparities. The practices identified
to mitigate these barriers encompass various initiatives, such as increased outreach in Spanish, enforcing
housing safety codes, targeted efforts to inform about home financing opportunities, ensuring equal access
to information, and organizing diversity awareness events and programs at various locations across the city.
