The City is working to address the community’s housing needs by supporting several efforts to increase the supply and affordability of housing across the housing continuum. In 2016 the City conducted a comprehensive analysis to evaluate housing needs in Springfield, and to identify efforts to address the community’s needs. The result is the Springfield Housing Strategy, which includes the actions the City is taking to tackle Springfield’s housing challenges. The Housing Strategy handout summarizes the projects and programs approved by the Springfield City Council to help meet Springfield’s housing needs. See the handout here
