The Lincoln Trail Area Development District is seeking community input on their comprehensive study of affordable housing and homelessness in the region.
“As we’ve heard throughout the community now for several years, we have a lot of market-based housing, but we don’t really know where we stand as far as affordable, workforce, and transitional housing, aka homelessness,” said LTADD Executive Director Daniel London.
The study is designed to give LTADD quantifiable data to show if the district is over-built in market-based housing and under-built in affordable housing.
London says community input is critical to the study.
“It gives us feedback on what the cost of housing is, and how that is impacting you, because all of this nests together in terms of what varieties and buckets of housing we need within the community to make sure that everyone has appropriate housing, because that ensures that we prevent a cracked socio-economic situation here in the community that we have to guard against,” London said.
Participation in the survey, which should take 10 to 15 minutes to complete, is voluntary. Responses are confidential and no personal identifying information will be collected.
The deadline to submit responses is February 16. A link to the survey can be found on the LTADD website and Facebook page.
