opportunities to take control of City zoning through the AFFH legislation

without HUD funds, Federal laws about fair housing and HUD could only act if the City is found to have
been discriminatory There are no new regulations in the referenced document Staff confirmed that
there are no City General Funds used for this program It was further discussed whether the AFFH
uses "regional" and/or city -specific criteria in determining "victim groups" as an example of potential
future control
