Seven 50 - Sustainable Communities
Regional Planning Grant Fair Housing
and Equity Assessment (FHEA)• Understand the historical, current and future
context for opportunity in the region and the data and evidence that demonstrates those dynamics
• Engage regional leaders and stakeholders on findings and implications of analysis
• Integrate knowledge developed through the Regional FHEA exercise into the Regional Plan strategy development process (e.g., priority setting and decision making)

Why the FHEA?• “Sustainability also means creating ‘geographies of
opportunity,’ places that effectively connect people to jobs, quality public schools, and other amenities.
• Today, too many HUD-assisted families are stuck in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty and segregation, where one's zip code predicts poor education, employment, and even health outcomes.
• These neighborhoods are not sustainable in their present state.
—HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan, February 23, 2010

FHEA Fair and just inclusion.

place where all residents can access and take advantage of the region’s
economic, social, and environmental assets

Opportunity = Prosperity
• Southeast Florida demographic transformation
• Pursuing strategies that create more inclusion are no longer only moral imperatives—they are economic ones.
