Schoharie County Launches Senior Housing Needs Survey - 23 February 2024

SCHOHARIE – The Schoharie County Housing Committee is proud to announce the launch of a survey to understand the unique housing needs of the senior population within Schoharie County. This effort is part of the greater Schoharie County Housing Study which aims to provide a detailed overview of the current housing inventory, forecast the growth of the population and the subsequent demand for housing, identify both market trends and unmet needs, and develop a strategic approach to address these challenges.

In order to gather insights directly from the community, a crucial part of this study is a survey specifically designed to capture the housing conditions and needs of seniors in Schoharie County. The findings from this survey will play a key role in shaping the future housing landscape to better serve our senior residents.
