We are pleased to share with you our DeKalb County Housing Needs study.  The intent of the study was to provide decision makers, stakeholders, and community members an understanding of key housing issues. The study provides an assessment of unmet housing demand now and in the next five, ten, and fifteen years.  This study offers our community a basis for formulating housing priorities, policies, and intervention strategies.  

As always, I welcome any comments that you may have. Please contact me directly at sperkins@dekcohousing.com or 815.758.2692 x.124.
