Volusia County Launches Public Needs Survey

Posted On: May 21, 2025

Volusia County’s Community Assistance Division has launched a public needs survey to help determine how millions of dollars in federal housing and community development funds will be allocated over the next five years. Residents and stakeholders are encouraged to participate before the June 2 deadline.

The survey results will directly shape the County's 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and 2025 Annual Action Plan – strategic blueprints that govern how U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding will address critical community challenges.

"This survey gives every resident a voice in how we invest these vital federal resources," said Grants Planner Eva Colee. "We need diverse perspectives to ensure we're targeting the most urgent housing, infrastructure, and service gaps affecting our most vulnerable populations."

Volusia County seeks input to identify and prioritize needs in affordable housing, homelessness prevention, neighborhood improvements, and economic development opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents.

All Volusia County residents are encouraged to participate at www.volusia.org/reports. Survey responses will remain confidential. For questions or assistance with the survey, contact Eva Colee at 386-736-5955 or ecolee@volusia.org.
