CHAPA 2014 Policy Priorities Survey Deadline for Completion is November 30th - We need to hear from you! - November 19, 2013

Provide your direct input to CHAPA by taking our

"Community Survey on CHAPA Policy Priorities"

Deadline for the Survey is November 30, 2013

CHAPA wants your input on our policy work for 2014 so that we can effectively address the biggest barriers to the production and preservation of affordable housing for low and moderate income households.

During this current legislative session, CHAPA has focused on increasing funding for housing and homelessness prevention programs, recapitalizing housing development programs, zoning reform, and expanding tools to revitalize Gateway Cities.  As we approach the second year of the two-year legislative session and begin to develop our priorities for the 2014-2015 legislative session, we are interested in your feedback. The list below includes policy areas we are currently working on as well as the emerging issue of health and housing. Within each policy area, we work on funding, regulations, and legislative solutions that expand and preserve our housing stock, remove barriers to accessing housing, and create healthy, vibrant communities.

1.  Housing Production
2.  Housing Preservation
3.  Homelessness
4.  Public Housing
5.  Gateway Cities Revitalization
6.  Health and Housing

Your feedback is important in helping CHAPA to determine the issue areas that will have the greatest impact on affordable housing across the state. We hope you'll choose to answer the entire survey, but please feel free to skip over any questions not relevant to you.
