The City of Rockford wants to focus on developing housing goals that will have a significant impact on improving housing opportunities for the residents of Rockford. We recognize that safe, well-maintained housing is hard to come by. And yet the condition, availability and affordability of housing can affect everything from physical and mental health to success in school and at work. In order to ensure we are developing the most appropriate and effective goals, we really need input from the experts in our community: the residents! It is important to us that residents are involved throughout this process.
If you take this survey, we can do the following:
1) Discover what Rockford residents care about the most when it comes to housing
2) Determine the kind of housing that needs to be built (for those who choose new construction as the priority)
3) Determine what investments are needed in existing neighborhoods (for those who choose revitalization/rehabilitation as the priority)
4) Plan next engagements steps using the information respondents give us about how they expect to get information and to give input
