housing. In 2020, the housing navigator assisted approximately 600 unduplicated individuals.
4. Goal - Promote self-sufficiency and asset development of families and individual
• The PHA voluntarily administers the Family Self-Sufficiency Program for participants who have
ported into our jurisdiction. In 2020, there were three families participating in the FSS program,
one of which successfully completed the program during the year.
5. Goal – Ensure equal opportunity and affirmatively further fair housing
• The PHA has a contract with the Legal Aid Society of San Diego to provide Fair Housing counseling,
educational Fair Housing seminars for staff, tenants, and landlords. Among the services it provided
in 2020, the LASSD conducted a Fair Housing Law and Eviction Moratorium training before the
Housing Commission in December. Members of the public, real estate and property management
industries were invited to attend the virtual workshop.
• In collaboration with other North County cities, the 2020-2025 San Diego Regional Analysis of
Impediments to Fair Housing was finalized in May 2020. The Analysis of Impediments, which was
