City of Victorville/Town of Apple Valley Resident Survey

This survey is for the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) plan, a document required by both the City of Victorville and Town of Apple Valley by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).  The Federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status and disability.

The AFFH seeks to identify barriers to fair housing, defined by HUD as:

·         Any actions, omissions, or decisions taken because of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status or disability that restrict housing choices or the availability of housing choices.

·         Any actions, omissions or decisions that have the effect of restricting housing choices or the availability of housing choices or the availability of housing choices on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status or disability.

If you have encountered a barrier to renting or buying a home because of your race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status or disability, you may have experienced housing discrimination.

Examples of possible housing discrimination:

·         An agent refusing to sell, rent or show available housing.

·         A person only being shown housing in areas or neighborhoods of minority concentration.

·         A landlord providing different housing services, or enforcing different rules, for minority tenants.

·         A prospective tenant being told the dwelling is not appropriate for a family.

·         A dwelling has an available sign but prospective tenants are told it is not available.

·         The existence of planning and zoning regulations that limit the ability or choices of certain groups to secure decent housing.

·         A person being denied a loan, or getting a higher interest rate, because of being a member of a certain group.

·         A person being denied a loan or getting a different interest rate, because of buying a minority neighborhood.

This survey is being used to determine conditions present in your community.  Your input is greatly needed.  Thank you for your time.
