Public Asked to Provide Input on Low-Income Housing Priorities – Survey Open Until March 13th
To make the best use of Federal and State grant funds for housing and community service projects, the Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD) develops a comprehensive Consolidated Plan/Annual Action Plan.
The public is invited to provide input and share suggestions as to what is most needed in the City of Sarasota for the benefit of low-income households. This year, a brief online survey has been generated to collect these responses.
This feedback is an important factor in determining the scope and budget of community improvements for the next 5 years. In the past, Federal and State funds have been used for construction of affordable rental units, creation of new parks, street and drainage improvements and the creation of new affordable housing units.
What are your priorities for Sarasota? Affordable housing? Community facilities such as senior centers, child-care, libraries or fire stations? Infrastructure such as pedestrian walkways, lighting and more? What about parks and common green spaces? Or, accommodations for disabled individuals? Are there other needs which require more attention?
By sharing your feedback, you are helping to prioritize significant resources which assist underserved, low-income individuals and neighborhoods. With your responses, OHCD will be able to recommend how to allocate these limited resources.
Between February 13, 2026 and March 13, 2026, please take part in this brief but meaningful survey. Your input makes a difference in providing valuable and accessible improvements in our community.
Please share your thoughts and help make a difference. Take the grant survey here or send your comments to:
