Hoosier Housing Ready Toolkit: Ten Steps to Success for Rural Counties

Abstract

Communities are at different points of readiness to increase their housing stock. With guidance from the Hoosier Housing Ready Toolkit, local leaders and residents explore and determine the paths that meet their town or city's specific housing needs. The toolkit includes housing market data resources, a quality-of-place inventory, a visioning guide, local government zoning and planning information, a tax model to help communities determine the cost and benefit of new housing units, and a site identification guide, among other resources.
