MCK Housing Unit: Studies Released
Written by Jeremy Zafran on 9 March 2022
The MCK’s Housing Unit has released the results of two recent surveys for public viewing. The surveys were conducted in December 2021 and January 2022, with a notable high participation rate, with a 358 total for both surveys. The survey summaries showing that 63% of respondents want access to housing services within three (3) years while 50% want home ownership via building or rent-to-equity programs. Additionally, the majority of respondents – at 70% – indicated that they could afford a minimum of $500 – $650 per month for housing. Survey results show that past housing clients rated the programs and client service received with a generally fair overall rating with a correlation between the quality of the program based on the quality of service that was provided by the employee.
The data provided by the surveys will guide the Housing Unit re-structuring strategy moving forward with the overall goal of continuing the improvement of services for the community. Survey results can be accessed at www.kahnawake.com/housing.
