Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 3 hours per response, including the time
for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing

The Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing (AFHM) Plan is used to ensure that insured and subsidized multifamily housing
projects are taking necessary steps to eliminate discriminatory practices and to overcome the effects of past discrimination
involving Federally insured and subsidized housing. No application for any housing project insured or subsidized under
the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) housing programs can be funded without a HUD approved
AFHM Plan (See the “Applicability” section in the instructions below.) Multifamily housing projects must have an
updated AFHM Plan in effect for the life of HUD’s mortgage insurance. The responses are required to obtain or retain
benefits under the Fair Housing Act, Section 808(e)(5) & (6) and 24 CFR Part 200, Subpart M. The form contains no
questions of a confidential nature.

Applicability: This form is to be completed by all insured or subsidized: multifamily housing projects.
Each applicant is required to carry out an affirmative program to attract prospective tenants of all minority and
non-minority groups in the housing market area regardless of their race, color, religion, sex, national origin,
disability, familial status, or religious affiliation. Racial groups include White, Black or African American,
American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander. Other groups in the
housing market area who may be subject to housing discrimination include, but are not limited to, Hispanic or
Latino, persons with disabilities, families with children, or persons with different religious affiliations. The
applicant shall describe in the AFHM Plan the proposed activities to be carried out during advance marketing,
where applicable, and during all rent ups.. The affirmative marketing program also should ensure that any
group(s) of persons ordinarily not likely to apply for this housing without special outreach (See Part 3), know
about the housing, feel welcome to apply and have the opportunity to rent.
