Every five years the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires participating jurisdictions to provide an Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice. For the 2025-29 AI, Alameda County has collaborated with all of the cities in Alameda County, and the housing authorities of City of Alameda, City of Berkeley, City of Livermore, City of Oakland, and Alameda County, to develop a Regional AI to meet the HUD requirement.

The purpose of the AI is to identify and evaluate potential obstacles or impediments, in both the private and public sector, to a person’s ability to choose their residence free from discrimination, and to recommend actions that address such impediments in a 5-year Fair Housing Action Plan. Impediments to fair housing choice are defined as any actions, omissions, or decisions taken because of race, color, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability, source of income, familial status, or national origin that restrict housing choices or the availability of housing choice; or that have this effect.
