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

In General: The Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing (AFHM) Plan is used to ensure that Federal Housing Administration
(FHA)-insured single family housing developers are taking necessary steps to elim
inate discriminatory practices and to overcome
the effects of past discrimination involving Federally insured housing. No application for any housing development
insured under the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) housing programs, shall be funded without a
HUD-approved AFHM Plan (See the “Applicability” section in the instructions below.) Single family housing developers
complete the AFHM Plan only during the application process and the AFHM Plan is in effect until after initial occupancy.
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: Single family developers should answer the following two questions to determine if they need to
complete an AFHM Plan or if they should complete block 11 on Form HUD-92541, Builder’s Certification of
Plans, Specifications, & Site. (See HUD Mortgagee Letter 1995-18 dated April 28, 1995 and 2001-09 dated

_____ a. Did you sell five (5) or more houses in the last twelve (12) months with HUD mortgage
insurance?
_____ b. Do you intend to sell five (5) or more houses within the next twelve (12) months with HUD
mortgage insurance?
If you did not check 1a or 1b, you do not have to complete an AFHM Plan. You should complete block 11 on
the HUD-92541.
If you checked 1a and/or 1b, you must go to Question 2.
Question 2. (Check if applicable)

to market my houses.
_____ d. I certify that I will comply with the following: (a) Carry out an affirmative marketing program to
attract all minority and majority groups to the housing for initial sale. Such a program shall
typically involve publicizing to minority persons the availability of housing opportunities

the type of media customarily utilized by the applicants; (b) Maintain a nondiscriminatory
hiring policy in recruiting from both minority and majority groups; (c) Instruct all
employees and agents in writing and orally of the policy of nondiscrimination and fair
housing; (d) Conspicuously display the Fair Housing Poster in all Sales Offices, include the
Equal Housing Opportunity logo, slogan and statement in all printed material used in
connection with sales, and post in a prominent position at the project site a sign that
displays the Equal Opportunity logo, slogan or statement, as listed in 24 CFR 200.620 and
appendix to subpart M to part 200. I understand that I am obliged to develop and maintain
records on these activities, and make them available to HUD upon request.

Each applicant is required to carry out an affirmative program to attract prospective buyers of all minority and
non-minority groups in the housing market area regardless of their race, color, religion, sex, national origin,
disability or familial status (24 CFR 200.620). 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 of different religious affiliations. The
applicant shall describe in the AFHM Plan the proposed activities to be carried out during advance marketing,
where applicable, and the initial sales period. 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 buy.
