PUTTING HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENTS AND
HEALTH DATA TO WORK FOR YOUR COMMUNITY
Teryn Zmuda, NACO’s Chief Research Officer/Chief Economist, said databases can share not only statistics, but examples to benchmark.
She mentioned a Salt Lake County public-private partnership that created housing units with priority for people who needed disability-accessible units.
The development was connected to a county service center.
A Hennepin County project
put local residents to work rehabbing homes, then those homes were put on the
market as affordable housing for families.
“Pick up the phone and call a county that solved something you
are working on,” she said, noting data must always be combined with a firm
knowledge of local needs and traditions as well as innovative ideas borrowed
from peer county success stories.
