Raleigh Community Housing Priorities

The Comprehensive Plan is a long-range policy document that outlines a vision for how Raleigh will look and feel in the future, and how the city should grow to achieve that vision. Raleigh’s adopted comprehensive plan provides guidance through the year 2030, and with 2030 fast approaching, we are beginning the process of developing a new plan for future decades.

We are spending the first year of the planning process hearing from you about what you think is important to consider as we plan for the future. The questions in this survey are specific to housing in Raleigh. Feedback you provide on this survey and during the event will help shape the vision and goals in Raleigh’s Next Comprehensive Plan.

These questions were provided during the City’s Affordable Housing Summit/housing community conversation on August 17, 2024. If you attended that event and answered the survey questions, your responses have already been recorded. If you responded at the event but would like to share additional information, please feel free to take this survey again.
