Survey to help determine county housing policies

San Bernardino County is asking for the public’s help in establishing its housing policy.

Every five years, the San Bernardino County Community Development and Housing Department asks county residents to complete a survey regarding planning related to housing and community development, according to a statement on the county’s website.

Information from the survey allows the county to assess its affordable housing and community development needs. It also helps determine how the department will use grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

“Our goal is to connect with our residents to gather information that will help us identify community needs and ensure HUD funding is spent on priority projects that benefit low-to moderate-income residents,” said Carrie Harmon, department director, in the statement. “Community members are encouraged to participate by sharing their feedback through the survey.”
