Housing Matters Listening Sessions

What makes people feel most at home? Family & Friends Friendliness & Land and Space Proximity to Safety & Cleanliness Diversity resources Being familiar with Sense of community Quiet and room for Walkability to things Free of mold, bugs, those around you with neighbors activities that are nearby and crime 35 Add a footer

Community Challenges ○ Schools "If the schools are not competitive, we either have to resign a generation of children ▪ to bad schools or people are going to continue to move" ○ More responsive and transparent city relationship  I’d like to see the city spread the services around . Some areas they do not provide services and enforcement.  "We need clear policies that address future development.” ○ More and Closer Resources “More commercial/drugs stores especially for seniors who need prescriptions.”   “A grocery store within walking distance, that would help with food deserts.” Add a footer

Housing Challenges ○ Older people can’t afford to live where they’ve been for years  “My grandmother has been living on 25th and Fairmount for over 25 years...The neighborhood has transformed, [with houses] going for $500,000 . Are houses going to be affordable for people in the future? ○ Rising cost of housing (rent and property taxes) - especially on a fixed income  "The prices they are charging in Manchester, you would think you were in Short Pump.  I’ve seen my property values go up 492% over two years …."  [Renters]are going to get pushed out of the community...I am really worried. Things are going to be too expensive and they can’t afford to buy a house. Add a footer
