The City of Evansville Department of Metropolitan Development and City Consultants & Research, LLC, will host a Fair Housing public meeting on November 12, 2024, at 6:00 p.m.
The meeting will be held in the CK Newsome Center.
Evansville residents are encouraged to attend the meeting and share their experiences about housing conditions in Evansville with officials. These officials and residents will be able to discuss potential strategies that can make housing more accessible in Evansville.
Along with this discussion, those in attendance can expect to learn more about housing barriers in Evansville.
In September, the City of Evansville released a Fair Housing Survey to hear directly from residents. This survey aimed to obtain candid, honest feedback about residents’ experiences with housing discrimination issues. This survey will be open until November 23, 2024.
Community members who can not attend the public meeting are encouraged to respond to the survey.
The Fair Housing Survey can be found at surveymonkey.com/r/YJ8V3CF.
The survey, along with the November 12th meeting, is a continued effort to make sure that resident concerns are heard.
“The push to make housing more accessible is one of the many ways that city officials are making Evansville a city that works for all residents,” said Kolbi Jackson, Executive Director of the Department of Metropolitan Development. “It is important to us to ensure that we are addressing housing concerns that come directly from citizens.”
All Evansville residents are invited to this meeting to share, learn, and collaborate.
