Statewide studies that frame Delaware’s current housing conditions and examine the trends and issues shaping housing policy over five years.
About the assessments
The Delaware Housing Needs Assessments are intended to frame the current housing conditions within the state and examine the significant trends and issues that will dictate housing policy over five years.
These reports are developed using quantitative data and feedback from housing stakeholders, real estate developers, lenders, and policy makers. The information provided in these reports and supporting documents will guide housing agencies and local jurisdictions in their efforts to:
- Prioritize housing and housing-related services,
- Develop more targeted program and policy responses, and
- Better coordinate the use of federal, state, and local resources.
