Tradit ional market

indicators for

Dubois County

do not ref lect a

s ignif icant increase

in housing demand.

There is l imited

oppor tunity

for s ignif icant

new housing

construction based

on past trends and

current, tradit ional

demand levels.

The age and qual ity

of housing stock

may present an

oppor tunity for

a “replacement ”

housing strategy

within specif ic

neighborhoods.

The current rental

inventor y is

inadequate in both

qual ity and options

within each of the

communities.

The majority

of housing is

“affordable” to

the workforce,

but l imited in

age, qual ity and

location.

Current commuters

are not l ikely to

dr ive s ignif icant

housing demand;

other factors

are inf luencing

their housing

decision besides

employment.

Exist ing

development

standards, cost of

construction and

avai labi l i ty of land

impede and / or

dis incentivize new

workforce housing

construction.

Employer job

growth projections

for the next 5 years

are an impor tant

component that wil l

impact the level of

housing demand in

the near future.

The employers are a cr it ical component of identifying and attracting qual i f ied home -

buyers and wil l benefit from improved employee attraction and retention which wil l

faci l i tate their projected expansion plans.

The public sector wil l be pr imari ly responsible for infrastructure improvements, expedited

entit lement processes and pre - development activit ies. They wil l benefit from an improved

and expanded tax base as well as a greater abi l i ty to attract new residents and businesses.

The housing par tner may be an exist ing or newly created nonprofit or for profit entity that par tners with the employers and public sector to lead housing effor ts within Dubois

County. This organization or individual wil l be responsible for organizing and leading the housing init iat ives which may include activit ies such as col laborating with the par tners to meet broader community/ economic development goals, pre - development, marketing and

sales, construction management and transactions with potential home -buyers.

Home -buyers wil l benefit from an improved process

as well as a menu of f inancial resources that make Dubois County a

more desirable location.

Benefits to the builders wil l be both f inancial in

the form of incentives and ease of entit lement as well as identif ication of qual i f ied customers.

Federal, State and private funders wil l br ing resources

that meet their goals of affordabil ity, homeownership

and community/economic development.
