BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Set a public hearing for December 20, 2017, to consider and
approve the 2016 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing
Choice and the 2016 ADA Transition Plan.
A public hearing is required as part of the federal requirements of
the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD).
2016 Analysis of impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI)
The City of Lodi is required to conduct an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (Al) as a
grant recipient of HUD's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. In preparation of this
Al, the City has analyzed factors that may impede fair housing choice, and identified a plan to
overcome the impediments. Fair housing choice means each person has equal access to housing
regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, disability, marital status,
ancestry, source of income, sexual orientation, and "any arbitrary factor" as protected under other
state laws.
2016 ADA Transition Plan
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), adopted in 1990, is a comprehensive piece of federal
legislation that prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities and guarantees them the same
opportunities as everyone else to participate in the mainstream of American life, including the right to
enjoy employment opportunities, to purchases goods and services, and to participate in state and
local government programs, services, and activities.
Additionally, the ADA adopts a general prohibition against discrimination as established under Section
504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. This federal law applies to employers and organizations that
receive financial assistance from any federal department or agency, including the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Federal Transportation Administration (FTA).
The City of Lodi's 2016 ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan (2016 ADA Transition Plan) is a two-
part plan. First, it identifies and evaluates the City's programs, activities and services for whether they
are inconsistent with the requirements of ADA. The second part of the plan identifies physical barriers
to accessibility and the methods to be used to remove those barriers.
