<br /> <br />Orange County 225 25-29 Regional AFH <br /> <br />H. Garden Grove <br />Issue: Segregation and R/ECAPs, Disparities in Access to Opportunities, and Disparities in Access <br />to Homeownership <br />The majority of the city is considered an area of high POC segregation except for West Garden <br />Grove. In West Garden Grove, the residential neighborhoods west of Knott St are considered <br />areas of high White segregation. In the high POC segregation areas, AAPI residents are the <br />predominant group west of 9th St and Hispanic residents are the predominant group east of there. <br />Additionally, there are lots of publicly supported housing units in the center of city along Garden <br />Grove Boulevard, which is a high POC segregation area. There are no publicly supported housing <br />units in West Garden Grove, which is an area of high White segregation. <br />There is a R/ECAP in the northern part of the city to between Brookhurst St and Gilbert St, north <br />of Chapman Ave. The R/ECAP tract is predominantly Hispanic and is surrounded by Census Tracts <br />that are predominantly AAPI. <br />Hispanic and AAPI residents have the least access to low poverty neighborhoods and <br />neighborhoods with high labor force participation and human capital. Additionally, Hispanic <br />residents also have the least access to neighborhoods with high performing school s. <br />Geographically, the neighborhoods with access to the most opportunities are in West Garden <br />Grove, where education and economic scores are high, environmental quality is high, and poverty <br />is low. West Garden Grove is a predominantly White area. <br />The Black and Hispanic homeownership rate in the city is half the White homeownership rate. <br />Contributing Factors: <br />1. Lack of affordable, accessible housing in a range of unit sizes. <br />2. Inadequate supply/production of affordable housing. <br />3. Displacement of residents due to regional economic pressures. <br />4. Housing discrimination. <br />5. High land and development costs in the region. <br />6. Public opposition to new development and land use and zoning laws. <br />7. Access to financial services. <br />8. Lack of meaningful language access for individuals with limited English proficiency. <br />9. Lack of private investment in specific neighborhoods. <br />Actions: Timeframe: <br />1. Continue to contract with the Fair Housing Foundation to promote public <br />awareness of federal, state, and local regulations regarding fair housing. <br />Provide information to the public about local, state, and federal housing <br />programs and fair housing law. Maintain referral information on the City’s <br />website, social media, newspaper ads, and at a variety of other locations such <br />as community and senior centers, local social service offices, in City utility <br />bills, and at other public locations including City Hall and the library.
