PY24-28 Fair Housing Assessment - Consultations Survey (for focus groups, agencies, and organizations)

In PY19-23, multiple jurisdictions (Travis County, the City of Austin, the City of Pflugerville, the City of Round Rock, the City of Georgetown, and Williamson County) worked together to on a consolidated regional analysis of impediments. As a part of a PY24-28 Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) consultations process for the fair housing assessment, Travis County would like to inquire with all organizations and stakeholders (focus groups and agencies) to determine if:
  1. The impediments from 5 years ago are still applicable and
  2. What are new impediments that we should work to jurisdictionally or regionally work to address over the next five years.
Please answer the short survey below. Then, plan to attend the March 29, 1pm-3pm fair housing assessment consultations virtual meeting (via Microsoft TEAMS).
