ECICOG is honored to have been awarded a 2024 NADO ALICEANN WOHLBRUCK IMPACT AWARD for work completed by our staff lead Deanna Robinson on a Housing Needs Assessment for 14 cities within Linn County, excluding the metro area, and an Equity Analysis for Cedar Rapids, Marion, and Hiawatha.
These first of their kind assessments, revealed that despite relatively low housing costs, affordability remains a challenge for many households, driven by factors unique to each rural community. The Equity Analysis sheds light on housing disparities in underserved neighborhoods and aims to help guide future efforts to address these critical issues. For more information on the assessment visit the project webpage here.
