About the Project

Change Language:

The Town of Burlington, led by the Housing Partnership Committee, worked with MAPC to prepare a housing needs assessment.

The assessment evaluated and increased community understanding of housing needs and local housing issues. The assessment complements two other efforts currently underway in Burlington:

  1. Exploring the formation of a municipal affordable housing trust
  2. Updating the Town’s master plan, which includes a housing element

The Housing Needs Assessment includes data collection and analysis to understand Burlington’s population, household characteristics, and local housing market.

Three virtual focus groups, a survey, and a town-wide forum helped the project team better understand local housing experiencesThe final housing needs assessment report was completed in July 2022.
