Title: Beaufort County Housing Needs Assessment

Deadline: 5/11/2017 3:00 PM   (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)

Status: Awarded

Solicitation Number: RFP 051117

Description: Beaufort County Council adopted a resolution on September 26, 2016 to develop an affordable housing plan with a focus on availability, stability, and security of housing options for Beaufort County residents. Beaufort County is one of the fastest growing areas on the east coast. The last formal housing analysis— focused specifically on workforce housing—was undertaken in 2004 when the estimated population was 134,232 in 51,561 households (not including 6,350 military households). Between then and 2016, the population has grown by 45,357 (34%) to an estimated 179,589 people in 65,975 households. This growth has not been evenly distributed across the county, with certain geographic areas and jurisdictional growth trends far exceeding others. Additionally, community characteristics related to infrastructure, transportation, land, labor force and geography pose factors in how and where housing is developed and how and where gaps are occurring. Housing, particularly affordable housing for the workforce and for special needs populations, is a challenge in the municipalities and the unincorporated areas that comprise Beaufort County. In order to address this challenge, a full analysis of the existing housing inventory, demographics, types of housing, and geographic breakdowns within the county is essential to advancing affordable housing goals and developing strategies to effectively meet community needs.
