Project Description
Root Policy conducted research that pinpointed housing needs across income ranges, and tenure, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic across the entire Yuma County. To explore real time impacts of the pandemic, Root Policy conducted extensive resident engagement including a resident survey and resident focus groups in both English and Spanish. The project also evaluated needs and demand relative to the programs funded and allowed by HOME block grants.
