The Housing Access Survey Dashboard is LIVE! Thank You for YOUR Participation.

DLR Group, ITGA and the National League of Cities, and their international partner organizations, conducted a housing survey spanning the US, Canada, and the UK. Targeting colleges, universities, and their surrounding communities, the survey gathered input from nearly 400 institutional leaders and local officials about access, impediments, and evolving best practices for improving housing access for students, staff, and neighbors. We are excited to share our findings through the data dashboard. We invite you to research, explore, and discover the rich stories captured through the survey.
