City of Miami Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice

As a grant recipient of federal funds through the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the City of Miami is committed to Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) and is making concerted efforts to combat housing discrimination against protected classes.

In October 2023, the City will begin gathering public input towards the development of the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI).

Once completed, the Analysis of Impediments will provide a comprehensive analysis of factors impacting housing choice in the city and outline strategies intended to reduce or eliminate barriers to fair housing.

The City of Miami adheres to both federal law (Fair Housing Act) and Miami-Dade County’s Code to define unlawful housing practices. The Fair Housing Act protects people from discrimination due to their race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, and/or disability when they are renting or buying a home, getting a mortgage, seeking housing assistance, or engaging in other housing-related activities. Additional classes protected from housing discrimination in Miami-Dade County and as such, in the City of Miami include ancestry, pregnancy, age, marital status, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, actual or perceived status as a victim of domestic violence, dating violence or stalking, and/or source of income.
