MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion


Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")

Racial and ethnic minorities (African Americans, Hispanics) are more heavily concentrated in lower income communities, and very low to low income households within these communities are more severely affected by multiple housing problems.



Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")

Lower income and minority households are concentrated in Anniston, West Anniston, Hobson City, and Jacksonville. Racial/ethnic minority concentration is defined within this plan as any area where the total percentage of minority households exceeds the percentage of that racial or ethnic group’s representation within the general (national) population as a whole by more than 10%. For instance, in Hobson City, African Americans comprise 86% of the total population, while nationally they only comprise 13% of the population. An area of low-income concentration is any area (census tract/neighborhood) having a concentration of low to moderate income greater than 51 percent. Eleven census tracts with a majority of low-mod income households are identified in Section NA-30 of this plan.  



What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods?

These areas are characterized by aged housing, high concentration of low-income renters and homeowners, and high unemployment.



Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods?

Community assets in West Anniston include a recently redeveloped park, the Unified Resources Center and other facilities that serve the low to moderate income population .



Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas?

Strategic opportunities include investments and development plans by the Anniston Housing Authority and the Anniston City Schools. Future opportunities may be available for CDBG funds to be used as leveraged in these areas.


Strategic Plan

SP-05 Overview


Strategic Plan Overview

Five goals have been established for the five-year consolidated planning period. They are:



Goal 1:      Provide decent and affordable housing and supportive services for LMI families

Goal 2:      Provide decent and affordable housing and supportive services for populations with special needs

Goal 3:      Provide decent and affordable housing and supportive services for homeless populations

Goal 4:      Improve public facilities and/or infrastructure

Goal 5:      Eliminate slums and blight

For each listed goal, specific objectives, strategies and outcomes are identified. These are expressed below in quantitative terms over a five-year time frame from October 1, 2013 to September 30, 2018. The information is provided in accordance with guidance issued by HUD under the Outcome Performance Measurement System.



 Outcomes to be achieved will fall into the following categories:

  1. Availability/Accessibility

  2. Affordability

  3. Sustainability

Populations to be impacted will include:

  1. Very low to moderate income families and individuals

  2. Populations with special needs (elderly, disabled)

  3. Homeless persons

Geographic impact will be citywide under the CDBG program and consortium-wide under HOME. No specific neighborhoods or communities will be targeted. Objectives to be achieved will fall into the categories of:

  1. LMC (Low to Moderate Client Benefit)

  2. LMH (Low to Moderate Housing)
