Deadline nearing for housing needs survey

Oct 31, 2023 By CITY OF SANIBEL 1 min read

The city of Sanibel reported that with the help of Bright Community Trust and the FEMA Community Assistance Program, it is conducting a Housing Needs Survey online from now through Nov. 2.

It is a first step in the process to obtain available funding for city and local non-profits, like Community Housing and Resources and F.I.S.H. of Sanibel-Captiva, to meet unmet affordable housing needs.

Any member of the Sanibel community is encouraged to complete the survey, especially those on a fixed income or those who commute to their Sanibel place of work from off-island. The questions are designed to better understand the needs of the workforce and low-moderate income residents that will guide decision-making for the Below Market Rate Housing (BMRH) Program administered by CHR.

The city asked that survey responses be limited to one per person.
