The City of Florissant Office of Community Development, along with the City of O\u2019Fallon and St. Louis County, will begin a series of public meetings on April 8 as a part of the preparation of a new study. This study, \u201cAnalysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice,\u201d is\u00a0 required by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development as a condition for the three entitlement communities to receive Community Development Block Grant funding.<\/p>\n
The Analysis will identify barriers to equal access to housing and will propose fair and affordable housing strategies to overcome those impediments.<\/p>\n
The process is heavily influenced by the opinions and perceptions of local residents, whose input is solicited through public meetings and an online survey.\u00a0 The public meetings, being held in Clayton, Florissant, and O\u2019Fallon, are open to the general public, and provide area residents with the opportunity to express general opinions and concerns regarding fair housing. The meetings will be held during afternoon and evenings.<\/p>\n
