With the assistance of funding from DECDs Housing Opportunity Program, HCPC has been working on various housing initiatives over the past year, such as workshops and educational outreach, assisting towns with their comprehensive plans and ordinance updates for LD 2003 compliance, and conducting a countywide housing needs assessment. The latter is planned on being completed this fall. 

As part of this assessment we created a survey that we are encouraging all Hancock County households to take, to offer residents the opportunity to provide their thoughts and needs regarding housing in the county.

Here is the link to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/9M9LXL7
