Hinsdale Housing Needs Survey

As part of a $100 million InvestNH initiative, the Town of Hinsdale is participating in the Community Housing Navigator program. This program is intended to help New Hampshire communities understand and address their housing needs at a time when the state is experiencing record low-vacancy rates and an acute shortage of available and affordable housing. This is a community-driven process that starts with communication. Please take a moment to complete this Housing Needs Survey. The quality of this effort is largely determined by the level of participation from the community. Thank you for your time and interest!
