March Fair Housing Presentations

Fair Housing Forum Presentations

The NEOSCC is currently undertaking a study to evaluate fair housing throughout the 12 Counties of Northeast Ohio.  It is known as a Regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. In early March 2013, through a series of Fair Housing Forums, we reached out to each of the 12 Counties to present preliminary data and listen to your thoughts on this important issue. The documents below represent the data and preliminary findings  from the presentations given in each County during the week of March 11 through 15. Please continue to provide your feedback through our Fair Housing Surveys below or by emailing comments to info@neoscc.org.

Fair Housing Stakeholder Surveys

As part of the Vibrant NEO 2040 planning process, NEOSCC is conducting a regional analysis of impediments to fair housing choice (often called a Regional AI).  Western Economic Services -  is helping us craft a useful Regional AI for all of the communities in our 12-county region.

Working with Western Economic Services, we have created two surveys to help gauge the status of fair housing in our communities.  If you are involved in the housing industry please take some time to complete the survey.

Links to the two surveys, one for government officials and one for housing stakeholders can be found below.  Our definition of “housing stakeholders” are people like an advocate/ service provider, banking/ finance, construction/ development, condo or homeowner association leader, insurance, law/ legal services, property management, real estate, or resident advisory council leader.

Please fill out the most appropriate survey and forward both survey links to anyone else you think would like to participate in this research.

Fair Housing Surveys

Here are the two surveys in pdf form.

The findings from the Regional AI will be incorporated into the final NEOSCC plans and recommendations in 2013.
