a$ <br />City of Cuyahoga Fails, Ohio 12 <br />AA n 89 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice <br />enforcement be done. Under the new zoning code the City is encouraging accessbible <br />housing. A pilot project, "Fresh Start ", will create a template to renovate existing housing <br />to meet ADA requirements. Also, the City is establishing a Community Reinvestment Area <br />to encourage new residential single and multi - family housing in the oldest planning area. <br />These programs combined with a local fair housing enforcement to record complaints from <br />disabled home seekers who are or have experienced discrimination in their search for <br />housing or from current landlords the ability to assure safe and sanitary housing grows <br />closer. Whether there is one complaint or one hundred, the problem is there. <br />Another symptom of the problem is the NIMBY response that new group homes, housing <br />for the disabled, etc. encounter when they try to build or convert housing for the disabled <br />This is especially true in suburban neighborhoods. <br />The Consolidated Plan states that "although the numbers of homeless individuals from <br />Cuyahoga Falls utilizing shelters could not be obtained, it is assumed the number is <br />minimal ,'"Z Although this may be the case, it should be noted that "within Summit County <br />there are a number of emergency shelters and transitional housing programs available for <br />the homeless in Cuyahoga Falls." However, locally, "there are no emergency shelters within <br />the Cuyahoga Falls' city limits" and "throughout Cuyahoga Falls, area churches and other <br />agencies provide a variety of emergency services to the homeless and those at risk of <br />being homeless. "t3 " In addition, "Cuyahoga Falls has one (1) transitional housing facility <br />with sixteen (16) units within the City's limits. "14 however, to the City's credit it is a <br />participant in the COC and has asked for HMIS information quarterly to track and evaluate <br />Homeless in the community. <br />It is imperative that the City of Cuyahoga Falls track the numbers of homeless due to the <br />fact that as funds from the State and Federal Government dwindle, non - profit housing <br />agencies, providers of housing services, public housing authorities and local jurisdictions <br />will increasingly feel the pressure of increasing needs and decreasing resources. This will <br />result in the reliance on creative funding, alternative financing and other innovations in <br />order to rehab or build new units and to maintain rental assistance for those in need. <br />3.6 Income Characteristics of Protected Classes <br />Tables 11 reflects the 2000 (In 1999 dollars) Median Household Income See Map 5 <br />(MHI) for the census tracts for the City of Cuyahoga Falls by Race. The City <br />had 21,655 households in 2000. The MHI for the City of Cuyahoga Falls in <br />iZ City of Cuyahoga Falls Consolidated Plan, 2004 -2008, p. IX:34 <br />" Ibid, p.
