The AIFH will help to inform Alameda County’s and the City of Oakland’s strategy for addressing fair housing issues and identify what actions will be taken to address the issues over the next five years, county-wide and specific to the City of Oakland. The County of Alameda and the cities of Alameda, Albany, Berkeley, Dublin, Emeryville, Fremont, Hayward, Livermore, Newark, Oakland, Piedmont, Pleasanton, San Leandro, and Union City along with the Housing Authorities for the Cities of Alameda, Berkeley, Livermore, Oakland and Alameda County have formed a working group to develop a regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing.
The purpose of the Alameda County-wide regional effort is to gather data and community feedback, to identify specific impediments or barriers to fair housing within Alameda County, and then to come up with viable solutions, or actions to take against identified impediments. The City of Oakland solicits the valuable input and participation of Oakland residents in this regional effort. To be involved and to be informed, please see the 2025 “Notice of Public Meetings” below regarding the Regional AIFH for the Alameda County Region.
