“What do you need before, during, or after an emergency?”

Housing and Homelessness

“What do your needs related to housing and homelessness?”

With the rising cost of living, residents expressed a wide range of needs, like more housing assistance and shelters. Housing affordability is, without a doubt, a pressing issue, with challenges reaching beyond the availability and cost of homes. This multifaceted crisis touches on rent costs and extends to other areas of daily living and well-being. We need innovative solutions to address and alleviate housing challenges.
