Manchester Residents Encouraged to Take Housing Survey

The City of Manchester has started working with ISU Extension and Outreach on a program to help improve housing in the area. 

The Rural Housing Readiness Assessment program, or RHRA, has been implemented in over 60 rural communities across Iowa and has won numerous awards for assisting communities in the development of housing action plans.

The program begins with a self-assessment of the community that collects relevant plans, studies, resolutions and ordinances. As part of this assessment, input from the wider community is sought to help highlight housing needs from residents and people who travel to Manchester to work. 

Feedback from the survey will assist the Housing Committee develop priorities in the city’s action plan. The survey results will be included in the final report from ISU Extension and Outreach, along with all of the presentation materials, a detailed action plan and relevant resources to support those efforts.

The City of Manchester invites all residents to participate in the online survey, which takes about five minutes to complete. You can find links to the survey – in English and Spanish – below:
