The Regional District of Fraser-Fort George is looking to understand the housing needs in the rural areas around Prince George.

Throughout July, the regional district will be conducting a public survey to gather input on the housing needs and priorities in the region, according to a statement released by the regional district. The five-to-ten-minute survey can be taken online at www.rdffg.bc.ca/housing. Paper copies of the survey can also be obtained by calling the regional district office at 1-800-667-1959. The survey is available until July 30.

“Over the coming weeks, the regional district will be engaging with residents, stakeholders and Indigenous communities as it works to better inform and understand the kind of housing most needed in the region by identifying existing and projected gaps in housing supply,” the district statement said.

The district is looking to identify key areas of local need, the amount of housing needed to meet current and future demand, and the number of households facing housing needs.

“As the region grows and changes, the data and information provided today will help address the housing needs and demands in the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George area both today, and tomorrow,” the district statement said.
