Community meetings set, online survey underway.

What should we be doing to improve the housing situation in Santa Barbara County? That’s what’s being asked through a survey, and a series of community meetings.

Santa Barbara County, along with the cities of Buellton, Carpinteria, Goleta, Lompoc, Santa Maria and Solvang are jointly developing a five year plan.

The plan will be submitted to the federal government as a key part of getting funding for housing, and community projects.

There is an online Community Needs Survey people can take through the end of the month. You can find a link to it here. There are also community meetings set to take place on October 21 in Carpinteria and Goleta, and on October 23 in Lompoc, Buellton, and Santa Maria.
