8.E.19) Determine the impact of local preference policies

Municipalities may establish a preference for local residents during the selection of occupants for affordable housing.  Currently, up to 70% of the units can be for local preference based on regulations from the Department of Housing and Community Development.  Local preference criteria might be designed to address truly local housing needs -- needs that are unique to the community and perhaps not found in other areas of the region.  While local preference criteria may not include discriminatory criteria beyond an individual's location of residency, these preferences may create a disparate impact to individuals seeking affordable housing.

19.a    The Regional Housing Advisory Committee should conduct an evaluation of local preference policies
