Affordable workforce housing is a major issue confronting our community and the Cook County/Grand Marais Economic Development Authority (EDA) is taking steps to find solutions. The EDA and the “Go Cook County Housing Work Team” are working together to assess workforce housing needs, preferences, and affordability for both rental and home ownership options.
An anonymous online survey has been developed to gather community input. The housing group needs 15-20 minutes of your time to go online to anonymously share your situation.
The survey is targeted for individuals and families in Cook County and will help the EDA and the housing team to plan and formulate approaches to address workforce housing needs now and going forward forward.
The survey is a follow-up to five focus group sessions and interviews held last fall and supports work underway to identify specific locations and key properties to support development.
Please help by taking the brief survey at www.surveymonkey.com/s/cookhousing.
The deadline to take the survey is February 9.
