How to Use HUD’s New AFH Assessment Tool (AHA419D)

Learn How to Fill Out the New AFH Form Correctly the First Time

HUD issued a new ruling for Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) that created a new tool to replace the Analysis of Impediments (AI) process. Although the new Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) tool should provide more standard data from the Census Bureau and detail from communities, you still have a learning curve to tackle when you’re beginning to use the new form.

Learn all the requirements for filling out the new AFH form in this webinar by HUD housing expert Paul Flogstad. You’ll need to submit the form to HUD for approval, so find out how to do it correctly the first time and avoid having to resubmit it.

After attending this informative session, you’ll walk away with examples on how to answer the AFH form’s questions correctly and to HUD’s satisfaction. You’ll understand the step-by-step process of filling out the form, including identifying fair housing issues and contributing factors, prioritizing contributing factors, and setting priorities and goals.

• How to complete the new AFH tool the right way, so you don’t have to deal with resubmissions to HUD
