Regional Fair Housing and Equity Assessment (FHEA)

As part of the process to develop a Regional Plan for Sustainable Development (RPSD) for the Together North Jersey planning region, the Project Team has worked with the Together North Jersey Steering Committee and Standing Committees to prepare a Regional Fair Housing and Equity Assessment (FHEA).  The FHEA provides an analysis of segregation, racial and ethnic concentrations of poverty, access to places of high “opportunity,” distribution of recent infrastructure investments and explores other regulatory and private market barriers to fair housing choice.  The approach followed combined data analysis, a deliberative process that considers the finding of the analysis, and a “bridge” to implementation that recommends strategies and actions to address regional disparities in access to opportunity and barriers to fair housing as part of the Together North Jersey RPSD.

The preparation of the FHEA was also guided by an Advisory Group of Together North Jersey members, housing experts and equity stakeholders.
