Housing Studies: Tailored Solutions for Community Needs
Bolton & Menk’s Housing Studies team delivers a multi-disciplinary approach to assessing communities’ current housing situations and providing tailored solutions. The study involves analyzing data, gathering community input, and detailing the types, locations, and quantities of housing needed to support the community. It also identifies barriers to developing the necessary housing and provides tools to overcome these issues.
Housing Studies Benefits: Bolton & Menk’s housing studies offer several benefits, including identifying and addressing housing issues, understanding and valuing community concerns, gathering qualitative and quantitative data, and providing an easy-to-use housing report and map. The studies anticipate future housing needs across different timelines, ensuring that communities are prepared for various scenarios.
Land Use and Public Infrastructure: From a land use and public infrastructure perspective, Bolton & Menk goes a step further by identifying housing development barriers, finding future housing placement locations, and sourcing funding to build homes and support development. Community engagement is a key component of the process, ensuring that the plan is supported by the community.
Addressing Housing Challenges: The document emphasizes that housing challenges are varied and complex, ranging from communities with aging populations to those with younger individuals and growing families. A one-size-fits-all approach does not work, and Bolton & Menk’s tailored solutions are designed to address the unique needs of each community.
Additional Planning & Engineering Services: In addition to housing studies, Bolton & Menk offers a range of planning and engineering services, including development review, public engagement and communication, zoning code review and updates, comprehensive plans, master plans, district plans, market studies, strategic planning services, implementation frameworks, GIS/mapping services, infrastructure analysis and design, corridor plans, and project funding support.
