Thank you for participating in a survey that will help the City of Menlo Park understand the housing circumstances and needs of Menlo Park residents. The survey should take about 9 minutes to complete. At the end of the survey, provide your contact information if you would like to be entered into a drawing for one of three $50 gift cards to a local business.

What is displacement? Displacement occurs when people need to relocate from their homes or neighborhoods due to factors that are often out of their control. These factors could include rising housing costs or neighborhood redevelopment.

With your input, the City will develop an anti-displacement strategy for housing stability. An anti-displacement strategy includes laws, policies, or programs that intend to counteract the displacement pressures to ensure that those currently housed can stay in place and create a more stable community. The options provided in the survey are suggestions provided by Menlo Park community members.

Your responses will help prioritize suggested actions that will become the basis of the anti-displacement strategy which will be presented to the City Council later this year.
