Report to Redevelopment Agency Board regarding Housing Aggregation Finding December 18, 2001 Page 2 of 2 Assistance Programs, which have been used in the new housing developments located in the Northwest and East portions of the City, census tract 70 & 66. In order to support a finding that aggregating new or substantially rehabilitated affordable housing units developed in one or more project areas does not cause or exacerbate racial or ethnic segregation, 1980 and 1990 census tract information regarding the racial and ethnic make- up of census tracts in the City of Colton was reviewed. Census data for 2000 is not yet available. This data is attached in tabular form as Attachment A. The census tract information for the eight tracts constituting the City of Colton shows that in the City as a whole, there has historically been a significant Hispanic presence. The four tracts in which the new or substantially rehabilitated affordable housing units have been constructed show a significant Hispanic population, with the exception of tract 71, which shows a predominantly Non -Hispanic population. Based on the trends demonstrated by the Census Tract data and the A"ency's investment of its low -to -moderate income resources, the Agency is not causing or exacerbating racial or ethnic segregation. Consistency with Redevelopment Implementation Plan Section 4.4.1 of the Agency's Implementation Plan indicates that the Agency proposes to make a finding to aggregate new or substantially rehabilitated affordable housing units developed in ohe or more project areas. Financial Impact N/A Recommendation Approve Resolution No. 794 which make a finding that aggregating new or substantially rehabilitated low -to -moderate income housing developed in one or more project areas in the City does not cause racial or ethnic segregation.
