The Pioneer Valley Planning Commission (PVPC) updated the City of Springfield’s Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing during the spring of 2013.  The update was funded through a combination of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds provided by the City and District Local Technical Assistance (DLTA) funds provided through the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development. The City’s first AI was completed in 2001 with subsequent revisions occurring in 2003 and 2006.
