Hoxie Housing Assessment Survey (Community Survey)

The Sheridan County Economic Development organization, through a pilot program with the State of Kansas, is currently working on a Housing Assessment Tool (HAT) study to ascertain the current state of housing needs in Hoxie. The goals of completing the study include determining the current and future needs for housing, developing programs to help address the needs in the short- and long-term and having the data/resources at hand to apply for potential local, regional, and state and other funding to help address those needs.

Your feedback as a community member is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for taking your time to help us with this request.
