Housing Equity and Access Survey

This survey closed on June 30, 2022. 

This community survey is designed to assess how well the City is upholding Federal Fair Housing laws and it will help inform our Assessment of Fair Housing, which is a self-assessment required by HUD. This is also an opportunity to check in with residents of Bellingham to see how we can improve access to opportunities, including housing. We have added some slides below in case you would like a bit more explanation on some of the choices within the survey. 

A note about surveys: Online surveys have the advantage allowing lots of people to participate and share specific feedback in a way that is quick and convenient. Of course, we realize that surveys also have many limitations; information is voluntary and may exclude some groups. We do not consider these survey results to be scientific, or to equally represent all segments of the population. This survey is just one of the ways that we’ll be gathering community feedback.
