City of Haven Seeks Feedback on Housing

HAVEN, Kan. — The City of Haven is seeking feedback on housing issues through an online survey administered by Wichita State University’s Public Policy and Management Center (PPMC). The City has retained the PPMC to complete a Housing Analysis to determine if the community is eligible to utilize a Rural Housing Incentive District (RHID) tool.

A link to the survey is available on the City of Haven’s website, www.havencityhall.org. The survey is open now and will remain open until Midnight on Tuesday, March 24. Information provided through the survey is completely confidential and held by Wichita State in their encrypted data system. The target audience for the survey are those who work or do business in Haven, anyone who lives in Haven or anyone who has considered moving to Haven.

In order to qualify for a RHID a community must complete a housing analysis to determine if it meets the stated criteria. Once completed the community can submit the report and request to the Kansas Department of Commerce for evaluation. If the Department of Commerce determines the community qualifies, it can then proceed to put the district in place. Property taxes generated within the district are rebated back to the developer to reimburse the developer for the cost of infrastructure.

The final housing analysis report will be presented to the Haven City Council in May.
