The Gateway to Bucks County Since 1734. The findings led to the creation of the Fair Housing Task Force, a partnership between the Othering and Belonging Institute, the Terner Center at UC Berkeley, the California Housing Partnership Corporation, and the Urban Displacement Project to develop the opportunity mapping project for the TCAC. While much more work needs to be done on both the community development and fair housing fronts to expand access to better schools and higher paying jobs for low-income residents and communities, the policies TCAC enacted this week were an important step toward realizing those goals. In the S., 5 million women live in maternity care deserts - counties with no hospitals offering obstetric services. I have three recommendations to achieve this.

Together, these filters assigned roughly one-third of Californias census tracts to the lowest resource category, with the school poverty filter alone accounting for more than 90 percent of those assignments.

As shown in the draft 2020 map of Los Angeles and nearby cities below, Moderate Resource (Rapidly Changing) areas-as currently defined-are predominantly located adjacent to, or nearby, areas categorized as High Resource and Highest Resource. This pattern, which is also present in other regions, suggests that Moderate Resource (Rapidly Changing) areas in many cases represent an expansion of the existing geography of opportunity. It estimates that the average cost of an assisted unit in the State of California is $439,827.7 However, the estimated cost in Santa Clara County is higher than the State with an average per unit cost of $607,463. *IxK,'m&,? p0

TCAC/HCD Opportunity Map The TCAC/HCD Opportunity Map identifies regions throughout California whose characteristics have been shown by research to support positive economic, educational, and health outcomes for low-income families - particularly long-term outcomes for families with children. The current maps reveal, for example, that of the 1,568 census tracts designated as Highest Resource more than 80 percent are comprised predominantly of single family homes, and in more than half (56 percent) of Highest Resource tracts, multifamily buildings with 10 or more units make up less than 10 percent of the housing stock.

The mapping project was spurred following a 2017 investigation by the Othering & Belonging Institute that found the majority of LIHTC resources for low-income housing were being directed to low-income neighborhoods, and that only a small percentage of low-income housing was being constructed in high-opportunity areas.

RE: Response to Comments on Draft 2021 TCAC/HCD Opportunity Map TCAC and HCD convened the California Fair Housing Task Force ("Task Force") in 2017 to create the TCAC/HCD Opportunity Map in order to identify areas across the state whose characteristics have been shown by research to support positive economic, educational, and Community amenities and access to opportunities are inherently spatial in nature and are not always readily accessible or attainable due to the different types of social, cultural, and economic barriers in our society. : Few housing choices increasing density, The incentives included in yesterdays policy changes represent a concerted effort to address and begin to correct that historical imbalance. This approach also helps screen out portions of rural tracts with very low population densities, where it may not be possible to develop new housing due to terrain and land use barriers. Donate them to our library for others to enjoy and come pick up a new one! Going forward, the Task Force also plans to consider ways in which the factors that promote or constrain the well-being of low-income households might differ in rural communities, and whether potential differences call for alternative metrics. In Texas, the preterm birth rate among Black women is 41% higher than the rate among all other women. As TCAC rolls out the new regulations in the coming months, it will be important to closely monitor the effect of these new policy shifts on where and how much affordable housing is being built, as well as the longer-term impact of LIHTC housing on residents lives.

<< /Length 5 0 R /Filter /FlateDecode >> The TCAC/HCD Opportunity Map was developed in response to a growing body of research showing that the characteristics of neighborhoods - such as poverty rates and the quality of local public schools - substantially impact long-term outcomes for low-income families and children. Authentic choice in rural areas is not driven by the geographical nuances of large sprawling census tracts that include pockets of high opportunity.

The most recent opportunity maps (known as TCAC/HCD Opportunity Maps) were adopted in December of 2020. These include developing a broader and more nuanced definition and categorization of rural tracts within the state, a measure of job proximity that is more reflective of regional labor market commuting patterns, and a revised employment indicator more attuned to the prime-age workforce.

One of the aims of the program is to ensure that affordable housing is constructed in neighborhoods that offer higher resources and greater opportunity to their residents. -V/I^i7ABrHsd@ N2@QI30)_?$L p,& JL$]%z7;e!H*F\TTuI)e*s]S7cFGX`%LY]^
