On February 19, the City of Concord held a scoping meeting to gather public input on the scope of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) Program. This project is being completed as required by California state law, which mandates local governments to take “meaningful steps” to address housing disparities and promote inclusive, equitable, and affordable housing opportunities, particularly for underserved communities. The work done to date includes identifying potential areas for multifamily residential development. A series of evaluations led to the selection of several sites for rezoning, which are intended to “support more diverse housing options and improve community integration.” Written comments on the scope of the EIR will be accepted through March 7, 2025. Interested individuals are encouraged to submit their feedback to Justin Ezell at justin.ezell@cityofconcord.org. More information about the AFFH program can be found at www.cityofconcord.org/AFFH
