<br /> <br />Orange County 128 25-29 Regional AFH <br /> <br />This section describes the public or private policies or practices, demographic shifts, <br />economic trends, or other factors that may have caused or contributed to the patterns <br />described above. <br />Broadly speaking, disparities in access to opportunities between and within jurisdictions in <br />Orange County are due, in part, to: <br />• Lack of affordable (market or publicly subsidized) housing in high opportunity areas, <br />due to market factors, governmental constraints, and community opposition to high <br />density zoning. <br />• Lack of public and private investment in low-opportunity neighborhoods. <br />• Displacement of residents is due to rising housing costs. <br />Through the stakeholder consultations and community meetings, it was also reported that <br />disparities in access to opportunities in the County are due to: <br />• In addition to landlord resistance to renting to HCV Program participants, the gap <br />between HCV subsidy amounts and housing costs further inhibits HCV Program <br />participants from accessing housing in higher cost (and higher opportunity areas). <br />• Many seniors are on fixed incomes and cannot keep up with the rising cost of <br />housing. <br />• The high cost of land, which makes it hard to build new affordable housing in high <br />opportunity areas. <br />• The California Coastal Act, which limits development in high opportunity areas along <br />the coast. <br />• Lack of accessible housing for individuals with disabilities. <br />Detailed lists of the public or private policies or practices, demographic shifts, economic <br />trends, and other factors that have caused or contributed to disparities in access to <br />opportunities in each of the jurisdictions are included in Section IV. <br /> <br />EXHIBIT 6
