Young Adult Living Preference Survey

PEOPLE IN YOUR 20s OR 30s - TELL US HOW YOU LIVE AND HOW YOU WANT TO LIVE

The Partnership for Strong Communities is a Connecticut nonprofit organization that raises awareness of public policy solutions addressing housing, community development and homelessness. Learn more at www.pschousing.org.

We want to better understand your living situation, as well as your housing preferences now and in your future. Please take 5 minutes to complete this survey.

We’re collecting this information to articulate to developers and municipalities that young people represent a market to be served when it comes to creating good housing, in good locations at a reasonable price. If they don’t know you exist or what you want, they may not create the housing you need. Further, to properly serve the needs of young people, they need to understand the characteristics of the housing you want.

Please take 5 minutes to fill out the survey. And then pass it along to friends, colleagues, or anyone else you know in their 20s or 30s. Post it to Facebook or anywhere else you connect with your peers. Make yourselves heard. Tell Connecticut what you want.

This survey is for:
* People age 20-39
* People who live or work in Connecticut, or who have some interest in living in Connecticut
