Objective: Discussion of the Housing
Needs Assessment.
Brian Schoon, Director of Development at
INRCOG, provided an overview of the
Housing Needs Assessment. The Hous-
ing Needs Assessment was last comple-
ted in 2011 and since that time housing
has changed considerably. The purpose
of the assessment is to assess the quality
and affordability of the current housing
stock, identify unmet needs, develop a
guide for residential planning and devel-
opment policies, and to provide data to
support applications for grants, tax
credits. etc. Highlights from the assess-
ment include the following: Most homes
(82%) are in good condition, but
revitalization needs are extensive, de-
mand for housing programs outweighs
resources, residents appreciate down-
town revitalization and want improve-
ments in other neighborhoods, and
increased housing production might be
needed if population grows (e.g. 20 more
homes per year if population reaches
71,536 by 2030).

with Mr. Schoon and Noel Anderson,
Community Planning and Development
Director.

ment operations.
