Survey: Finding Affordable Housing in Detroit

The City of Detroit's Housing and Revitalization Department is working with Google to develop a new affordable housing website so that Detroiters can more easily find affordable rental housing. We would love to hear from you about your needs, the current affordable housing search process, and how we could make it better for all residents. The information you give in this survey will not be shared outside the HRD/Google team working on this project and will be used to inform the design of the website.

If you have any questions or want assistance filling out this form, contact Safiya Merchant at (773) 879-2212 or safiya.merchant@detroitmi.gov.
