Orange County 65 25-29 Regional AFH The following analysis describes the public or private policies or practices, demographic shifts, economic trends, or other factors that may have caused or contributed to the patterns described above. In the most recent Housing Elements prepared and adopted by each jurisdiction, the following factors were identified that contribute to the existence of R/ECAPs in these jurisdictions. In Placentia: • Lack of affordable housing, which limits housing mobility. • Limited participation in the Housing Choice Voucher Program . • Land use and development practices that constrain affordable housing development. • Private discrimination in housing, due in part to a lack of fair housing knowledge and enforcement. In Anaheim: • Historic practices of redlining and legal racial segregation have created many of the residential patterns that still exist today. Additionally, the high cost of land and existing housing in Anaheim (and throughout Orange County) are significant constraints to the development of new affordable housing and access for families to existing housing. In Costa Mesa: • Housing discrimination, which limits mobility for families. • Lack of affordable housing due to both governmental and market constraints. In Garden Grove: • Lack of affordable, accessible housing in a range of unit sizes, due to high land and development costs in the region, public opposition to new development, and land use and zoning laws. • Housing discrimination, which limits mobility for families. • Limited access to financial services. • Lack of meaningful language access for individuals with limited English proficiency. • Lack of private investment in specific neighborhoods. In Santa Ana: • Lack of fair housing education and outreach. • Lack of affordable housing. EXHIBIT 6
