Five of the respondents indicated that their municipalities have conducted an analysis of
impediments to fair housing choice (AI). Twenty-nine respondents stated that they did
not know if an AI was conducted in their community. Sixteen percent of respondents
stated that municipal employees attend fair housing training sessions.
Most of the municipalities of the respondents do not have systems in place for
addressing housing discrimination complaints. Twenty percent of respondents indicated
that their community has an established process for receiving fair housing complaints.
Twenty-five percent do not have an established process, and 17 percent were not sure
whether or not there was an established process. Thirteen of the 80 respondents stated
that the municipalities have a municipal employee responsible for addressing fair
housing–related issues. Twenty-two respondents said that they have no such
employee, and 14 did not know if there was an employee responsible for addressing fair
