Program efforts included a <br />fair housing testing program that sought to involve members of immigrant populations with <br />limited English proficiency, both for purposes of enforcing fair housing laws as testers and as a <br />vehicle to increase outreach to those populations. <br />As part of the Fair Housing Action Plan developed in conjunction with the Regional Al, FHCOC <br />provided technical assistance to cities that had identified public sector impediments in the <br />following areas: <br />• Family definition inconsistent with fair housing laws <br />• Lack of a definition of disability <br />• Lack of a reasonable accommodation procedure <br />• Lack of zoning regulations for special needs housitrg <br />• Lack of a fair housing discussion in zoning and planning documents <br />• Compliance with HUD AFFH requirements <br />The technical assistance consisted of providing ,background information on the above <br />impediments and model ordinances or regulations that adequately addressed the fair housing <br />concerns posed by the impediments. FHCOC will continue to work with partner cities to identify <br />additional public sector impediments and will provide technical assistance to ameliorate <br />impediments needed or requested. <br />14 DRAFT 2013 -2014 CAPER <br />f ihoit � 3 <br />
