Housing Needs Assessment:

A needs assessment will documents the current and future housing needs in the community. ECICOG staff can assist in the completion of this important first step. An extensive research and data collection process is conducted, resulting in a baseline inventory of housing in the community. Then, housing needs are identified through surveys, town meetings and other data review. Recommendations and an action plan are developed to carry out the selected housing initiatives. Assessments can target age or income groups to provide a comprehensive review of all income and age groups.
