AND THE REGIONAL ANALYSIS OF IMPEDIMENTS TO FAIR HOUSING
CHOICE
The City of Orange receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and
HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds annually from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The City is estimated to receive the following
amounts for Fiscal Year 2025-26:
1. CDBG - $1,034,444
2. HOME - $354,053
30-Day Public Review of the draft 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan including the 2025-
26 Action Plan and the Regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice
The Consolidated Plan is designed to help states and local jurisdictions to assess their
affordable housing and community development needs and market conditions, and to
make data-driven, place-based investment decisions. The consolidated planning process
serves as the framework for a community-wide dialogue to identify housing and
community development priorities that align and focus funding from the CPD formula
block grant programs, including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Program and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program. The Consolidated Plan
is carried out through Annual Action Plans, which provide a concise summary of the
actions, activities, and the specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used
each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the Consolidated
Plan. The 2025-26 Action Plan is the first Action Plan of the 2025-2029 Consolidated
Plan and outlines programs and projects that are recommended for CDBG and HOME
funding.
The Regional Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice is required by the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) every five years to identify
and evaluate potential obstacles or impediments, in both the private and public sector, to
a person's ability to choose their residence free from discrimination, and to recommend
actions that address such impediments in a 5-year Fair Housing Action Plan. The AI
provides an overview of laws, regulations, and administrative policies and procedures; an
assessment of how those laws affect the location, availability, and accessibility of
housing; and an assessment of conditions, both public and private, affecting fair housing
choice.
As a result of the Public Hearing, copies of the draft 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan
including the 2025-26 Annual Action Plan and Regional Analysis of Impediments will be
