(Chelsea Update would like to thank Nancy Paul for passing along this information from the Washtenaw County Office of Community and Economic Development.)
Please spend 15 to 20 minutes taking a survey that will help identify issues surrounding affordable housing in Washtenaw County. Your input is critical to create a full understanding of the need in our community. (And although Chelsea is not specifically listed, you can write it in.)
The Washtenaw County Office of Community and Economic Development has initiated a countywide affordable housing needs assessment. The final report will provide a clear, easy to understand assessment of the local housing market, identify current and future housing needs, and provide specific and implementable policy recommendations to advance affordable housing.
A major goal for this study is to include an analysis that links transportation cost and accessibility, as well as other environmental and quality of life issues to the location of affordable housing.
Ultimately, this report will provide numerical targets, budget needs, and policy recommendations related to affordable housing in Washtenaw County, as well as individually for the communities that make up the county’s urban core.
Here’s the survey.
