Sec. 91.210  Housing market analysis.

    (a) General characteristics. Based on information available to the 
jurisdiction, the plan must describe the significant characteristics of 
the jurisdiction's housing market, including the supply, demand, and 
condition and cost of housing and the housing stock available to serve 
persons with disabilities and to serve persons with HIV/AIDS and their 
families. The jurisdiction must identify and describe any areas within 
the jurisdiction with concentrations of racial/ethnic minorities and/or 
low-income families, stating how it defines the terms ``area of low-
income concentration'' and ``area of minority concentration'' for this 
purpose. The locations and degree of these concentrations must be 
identified, either in a narrative or on one or more maps.
    (b) Public and assisted housing. (1) The plan must describe the 
number of public housing units in the jurisdiction, the physical 
condition of such units, the restoration and revitalization needs, 
results from the Section 504 needs assessment (i.e., assessment of needs 
of tenants and applicants on waiting list for accessible units, as 
required by 24 CFR 8.25), and the public housing agency's strategy for 
improving the management and operation of such public housing and for 
improving the living environment of low- and moderate-income families 
residing in public housing. The consolidated plan must identify the 
public housing developments in the jurisdictions that are participating 
in an approved HUD Comprehensive Grant program. Activities covered by 
the consolidated plan that are being coordinated or jointly funded with 
the public housing Comprehensive Grant program must be identified by 
project and referenced to the approved Comprehensive Grant program. 
Examples of supportive activities for Comprehensive Grant program 
activities are efforts to revitalize neighborhoods surrounding public 
housing projects (either current or proposed); cooperation in provision 
of resident programs and services; coordination of local drug 
elimination or anti-crime strategies; upgrading of police, fire, 
schools, and other services; and economic development projects in or 
near public housing projects to tie in with self-sufficiency efforts for 
residents.
    (2) The jurisdiction shall include a description of the number and 
targeting (income level and type of family served) of units currently 
assisted by local, state, or federally funded programs, and an 
assessment of whether any such units are expected to be lost from the 
assisted housing inventory for any reason.
    (c) Homeless facilities. The plan must include a brief inventory of 
facilities and services that meet the emergency shelter, transitional 
housing, permanent supportive housing, and permanent housing needs of 
homeless persons within the jurisdiction.
    (d) Special need facilities and services. The plan must describe, to 
the extent information is available, the facilities and services that 
assist persons who are not homeless but who require supportive housing, 
and programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and 
physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing.
    (e) Barriers to affordable housing. The plan must explain whether 
the cost of housing or the incentives to develop, maintain, or improve 
affordable housing in the jurisdiction are affected by public policies, 
particularly by policies of the jurisdiction, including tax policies 
affecting land and other property, land use controls, zoning ordinances, 
building codes, fees and charges, growth limits, and policies that 
affect the return on residential investment.
