The Consolidated Plan will assess the current housing market, discuss characteristics of the City of Lewiston's population, identify community improvement priorities, and outline a five-year plan to fund and implement them using funds received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the federal Community Development Block Grant program (CDBG).

The City of Lewiston is currently developing its Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI), which will look at whether everyone has similar choices for housing regardless of their race, ethnicity, national origin, sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), religion, disability, or whether they have children.

The AI will:    

• Identify the primary conditions that limit fair housing access in Lewiston;
• Recommend and prioritize actions to that address these limiting conditions in order to:  
  • Reduce segregation; 
  • Eliminate racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty;
  • Reduce disparities in access to community assets; and 
  • Reduce disproportionate levels of housing need for families with children, people with disabilities, and people of different races, ethnicities, and national origins; and
• Outline goals, milestones, and metrics for implementing actions to address fair housing issues in Lewiston.
