Housing Study Lite: Opening Doors to Opportunities
“Housing Study Lite” developed as a response to the need some communities have for a continuum of options to complete a housing study prior to development.
- Smaller communities have less capacity for complex studies
- The study process often drains ongoing community energy and commitment
- Launched in 2018 and has been used by communities and planning entities to facilitate the housing study process
- Recognized by Department of Economic Development as fulfilling completion as a recent Housing Study for RWHF & NAHTF applications.

The July HomeNE webinar featured Minden’s transformation of a long-vacant historic building into five affordable housing units and a new downtown business. Presenters shared financing strategies, renovation lessons, and the partnerships that helped create new housing opportunities and revitalize the community.
