Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing
Though not published by City leadership, The 2020 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice for the City of Binghamton identifies significant barriers to fair housing, such as a lack of quality, affordable housing that disproportionately affects racial minorities, families with children, and people with disabilities. The report emphasizes the need for improved code enforcement, more fair housing education, and targeted policies to increase investment in low-income neighborhoods. It also underscores the importance of addressing sexual harassment by landlords, source of income discrimination, and the limited supply of accessible housing for people with disabilities.
