Fair Housing Plan

Overview

The Chelsea Fair Housing Plan addresses equitable access to housing choice in the City of Chelsea. Since the passage of the Federal Fair Housing Act of 1968, all communities that receive funding from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) have had an obligation to “affirmatively further fair housing.” The ultimate goal of fair housing efforts is to eliminate housing discrimination and residential segregation. This plan aims to advance these objectives through analysis of existing conditions and recommendations for concrete action that the City can undertake.

The Chelsea Fair Housing Plan was developed from 2022 to 2023 by the City of Chelsea in partnership with the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC). The plan was funded by the City of Chelsea through the Community Development Block Grant Program and through MAPC’s Technical Assistance Program (TAP).
