City of Downey Goal 5: Promote Equal Housing Opportunities To fully meet the community’s housing needs, the City must assure that housing is accessible to all residents, regardless of age, race, religion, family status, or physical disability. The City, attempts to achieve this through reasonable accommodation and through a partnership with the Fair Housing Foundation of Long Beach. Policy 5.1: Policy 5.2: Encourage the use of barrier-free architecture in new housing developments. Provide Fair Housing Services. Program 20 - Reasonable Accommodation for Persons with Disabilities Pursuant to Government Code Section 65583, the City of Downey is obligated to remove potential and actual governmental constraints upon the maintenance, improvement, or development of housing for all income levels and for persons with disabilities. The Fair Housing Act, as amended in 1988, requires that cities and counties provide reasonable accommodation to rules, policies, practices, and procedures where such accommodation may be necessary to afford individuals with disabilities equal housing opportunities. Reasonable accommodation provides a basis for residents with disabilities to request flexibility in the application of land use and zoning regulations or, in some instances, even a waiver of certain restrictions or requirements from the local government to ensure equal access to housing opportunities. Cities and counties are required to consider requests for accommodations related to housing for people with disabilities and provide the accommodation when it is determined to be “reasonable” based on fair housing laws and case law interpreting the statutes. The City of Downey encourages and promotes accessible housing for persons with disabilities. This includes the retrofitting of existing dwelling units and enforcement of the State accessibility standards for new residential construction. The City is committed to assisting residents in need of reasonable accommodation and offers financial assistance though the Housing Rebate and Grant Program, and will continue to direct eligible residents to apply for funds. Applicants can apply for grants or a rebate to complete improvement projects that remove constraints to their living facilities. In general, City Staff takes into consideration the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the review and approval of housing projects and grants modifications and 36 2014- 2021 Housing Element
City of Downey deviations from the Municipal Code to accommodate the needs of persons with disabilities. The City anticipates that they will have formal reasonable accommodations prepared by 2013, however in the instance that formal procedures are not implemented during the 2008-2014 planning period due to Staff cutbacks, the City would ensure that they are implemented within one year of Housing Element adoption. Program Objective: Administer the Housing Rebate and Grant Program to assist disabled households with architectural modifications to their homes and continue to implement the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Provide information in public places regarding the City’s reasonable accommodation ordinance that expands upon the provisions of the Housing Rebate and Grant Program and make information on this program more widely available to residents. If necessary implement reasonable accommodate procedures within one year of Funding Source: General Fund Responsible Agency: Housing, Planning, and Building Time Frame: 2014-2021- Provide informational handouts and information on the City’s website about reasonable accommodation procedures and the Housing Rebate and Grant Program.

Fair housing services provided by the Fair Housing Foundation include counseling and mediation between tenants and landlords. The Fair Housing Foundation also conducts seminars and information activities throughout the region. The City will refer fair housing complaints to the Fair Housing Foundation as appropriate. The City will assist in program outreach through placement of fair housing program multilingual brochures at the public counter, City library, post office, and other community locations. Program Objective: Continue to assist households through the Fair Housing Foundation, and continue to refer fair housing complaints to the Fair Housing Foundation.
