Community Needs Survey

We need your help identifying our housing and community development needs!

The East Baton Rouge City-Parish Office of Community Development is preparing a new 5-year Consolidated Plan & Strategy that includes goals and priorities for federal grant programs through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Please consider what you believe to be the needs of lower income persons and neighborhoods. Splitting money out however you wish, please put a dollar amount beside each type of need according to how you would spend this money.

Each need can have no more than $1000.
