Town of Eagle Housing Survey

The Town of Eagle is exploring how to meet the housing needs of the community.

For this survey, housing is generally considered to be affordable housing when the monthly payment (rent or mortgage) is equal to no more than 30% of a household’s gross income. Although there is some variation, this standard is commonly applied by federal and state housing programs, local housing initiatives, mortgage lenders, and rental leasing agents.

All responses are anonymous.
