Take Our Five-Year Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Study by April 15

The City of Livonia is preparing the Five-Year Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Study. This analysis reflects the City's Fair Housing needs and priorities. The Impediments to Fair Housing survey helps the City determine the strategies and priorities of how the City will address these needs and improve access to housing.

This survey is one of several resources the City of Livonia uses to help determine fair housing needs and interests. The City completes the analysis in collaboration with the City of Westland and Redford Township. This anonymous survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. Although the survey is anonymous, the first two questions help measure how well it gathers diverse public input. 

The survey is open through April 15.
