Housing, & Community Development Department 2026-2027 CAPER Presentation

Summary

The document combines Toledo’s fair-housing assessment with its 2025–2026 HUD performance report. The Fair Housing Center identifies barriers including discrimination based on income, disability, LGBT+ status, criminal history, zoning, transportation, homelessness, substandard housing, and access to water. Proposed city actions include enforcing source-of-income protections, updating zoning, expanding code enforcement and lead-safety efforts, supporting homeownership, and increasing public education. The CAPER reports use of CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds for public services, housing rehabilitation, affordable housing, neighborhood investment, lead abatement, and homelessness programs. It also highlights a $4 million housing-barrier initiative and rising unsheltered homelessness, underscoring the need for accessible housing, coordinated services, and public oversight.
