Can housing plans support funding applications?

Yes! While every community’s situation is different, our analyses often support grant and investment efforts by demonstrating the data, strategy, and credibility funders expect.

Do you focus on urban or rural housing?

Both, and everything in between! Rather than use a one-size-fits-all model, we tailor our approach to each community’s unique characteristics – local conditions, market dynamics, and goals. With a diverse portfolio of prior housing work, we are well-versed in the challenges of rural, suburban, and urban housing planning and ensure that our strategy is relevant and responsive to the specific geographic context.

What does community engagement look like for housing-related projects?

Community engagement is a core component of our work and critical in developing comprehensive, effective housing solutions. We take a structured, inclusive, and multi-layered approach to engagement, aiming to ensure that all groups in the community (e.g., residents and employers) have opportunities to share their views and shape outcomes through interviews, focus groups, listening sessions, and surveys. Our methods are designed to capture a wide range of perspectives while building consensus and support.
