As an organization, one of our focuses is on Affordable Housing. We understand that in order to be engaged in issues of economic security where there is opportunity to impact policy on a local level, we have to address the affordable housing crisis in the Asheville region.
In 2019, the Voices for Economic Justice group decided to tackle some of the issues regarding affordable Housing. To gather information, we are currently asking all renters to participate in our renters survey. This will help us determine what challenges and concerns we all face in order to see where our work might be most greatly affect change.
Additionally, we are working to create a phone app that renters can use to give feedback and provide insight on past rental experiences.
