Housing & Non-Residential Demand – Meeting Notes February 28th
Focus Team: Housing & Non-Residential Demand #3
Date and Location: Monday, February 28, 2022 – Community Center West Room
Estimated Attendance: 22
Guiding Questions:
- Do we feel comfortable with the idea that almost all affordable households will be renters, and preserving mostly move-up ownership?
- How do we feel about each product type and the households served? Do these appropriately address the need?
- Who are we missing and what types of housing would be suitable for them? How do we capture those needs and voices?
Key Technical Information Shared:
Dana Schoewe, Vice President RCLCO, shared preliminary findings in RCLOC’s housing demand study, with a focus on household segmentation. See attached slides.
