Crapo Seeks Idahoans’ Input on Developing Affordable Housing Policy

Launches statewide survey to seek feedback on issues with affordable housing

Washington, D.C.--Access to affordable housing remains one of the most pressing issues affecting both employees and employers across Idaho.  Today, U.S. Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) launched a housing survey across the state of Idaho to solicit feedback from homeowners, renters, insurance brokers, bankers, realtors, government officials and general contractors.  Information provided in the survey will help inform Senator Crapo of common issues where legislation may be considered.

“A lack of affordable housing is the number one issue Idahoans raise with my staff and me in meetings across the State,” said Crapo.  “Idaho is far from alone in this nationwide challenge, but Idahoans can be a key part in piecing together the housing puzzle as I continue to work to find collaborative solutions to this issue.  I invite any Idahoan to complete the survey and share as much detail as they are willing and able to provide.”

The housing survey follows the model of Senator Crapo’s veterans’ surveys from 2014 and 2015 that ultimately resulted in legislation Senator Crapo introduced being signed into law.

The survey is available on Senator Crapo’s official website at https://www.crapo.senate.gov/issues/affordable-housing-survey, or at the QR code at the bottom of this release.  Flyers with the QR code can be picked up at any of Crapo’s Idaho regional offices, listed below.  At the conclusion of the survey, data will be aggregated and released into a final report available to the public.  No personally identifiable information will be included in the final report and responses will ensure anonymity.

The housing survey will run through May 31, 2025.
