Abstract
Shoji Planning and Development is conducting a housing needs assessment for the Affordable Housing Opportunity Partnership in the Coos Bay/North Bend area. Housing needs assessments typically include information about housing characteristics and condition, household characteristics, and cost of housing. The most complete and reliable source of housing data is the U.S. Census of Population and Housing. The Census, however, is conducted every 10 years and was last conducted in 1990. It is probable that many characteristics of the Coos Bay/North Bend communities have changed since that time.
Recognizing the limitations of available data sets, the Affordable Housing Opportunity Partnership desired to implement a household survey to gather current data on housing and demographic characteristics. The Partnership contracted the University of Oregon’s Community Planning Workshop (CPW) to implement the survey. CPW used the questions generated by the Partnership and previous housing surveys conducted by CPW to develop a draft survey questionnaire for review and comment by Shoji Planning and the Affordable Housing Partnership.
