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 other low-income persons with 

special needs, including persons with HIV/AIDS and their families. Data 

on the housing market should include, to the extent information is 

available, an estimate of the number of vacant or abandoned buildings 

and whether units in these buildings are suitable for rehabilitation. 

The jurisdiction must also 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 and 

identify the public housing developments and 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 

PHA Plan.

    (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, such as expiration of Section 

8 contracts.

    (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, including any persons that are 

chronically homeless. The inventory should also include (to the extent 

the information is available to the jurisdiction) an estimate of the 

percentage or number of beds and supportive services programs that are 

serving people that are chronically homeless.

    (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.
