The members of the Ad Hoc Affordable Housing Committee thank you for participating in the following survey on housing needs in our community.  Our committee consists of volunteers who are charged with creating an Affordable Housing Plan for Madison that will increase our affordable housing stock in a way that fits the community.  

We want to hear from you to better understand your thoughts and ideas on the matter.  Our goal is to create a successful plan that Madison residents will want to implement in the future and that will allow many – such as seniors on fixed incomes, teachers, firefighters, and shop employees who work in Madison -- to live in our community.  

This first survey has been created by the South Central Regional Council of Governments and will assess housing needs throughout its participating communities.  In the next month or two, please look for our second survey, which will focus exclusively on Madison and what people would like to see in our community.  

Additionally, we will hold several educational forums in November to discuss some of the myths and ideas behind affordable housing and to hear Madison residents’ thoughts and ideas on creating such housing and barriers to success.

We appreciate your time today and hope to see you at one of our upcoming seminars!

Sincerely,

The Ad Hoc Affordable Housing Committee
