The Rural Housing Readiness Assessment program, or RHRA, has been implemented in over 60 rural communities across Iowa and has won numerous awards for assisting communities in the development of housing action plans.

Feedback from the survey will assist the Housing Committee develop priorities in the city’s action plan. Survey results will be included in the final report from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, along with all of the presentation materials, a detailed action plan and relevant resources to support those efforts.

El programa Rural Housing Readiness Assessment (RHRA) se ha implementado en más de 60 comunidades rurales de Iowa y ha recibido numerosos reconocimientos por ayudar a las comunidades a desarrollar planes de acción en materia de vivienda.
