Take Part in our Asset Mapping Process

In a collaboration with the Office of Rural Prosperity, Southwest Michigan Regional Housing Project (SWRHP) has started an Asset Mapping process. Your input will help create a clearer picture of the regional housing landscape.

This process will:

  • Identify areas of strength and capacity
  • Reveal service gaps and duplication
  • Inform funding decisions, policies and new initiatives

The survey will take 10-15 minutes to complete.
