(Dover, DE) – In his weekly message, Governor Markell addresses the importance of the Delaware State Housing Authority’s (DSHA) just-released Housing Needs Assessment, which provides information to help determine housing priorities for DSHA and in communities throughout the State. The new report analyzes issues like the types of housing in highest demand, and will help shape policies to strengthen the economy.
“The state, our counties, and all of our cities and towns must effectively plan for the type of housing and land use that best serves Delawareans, while encouraging economic development across the state,” said Governor Markell. “By having a long-term plan, we’ll continue our work to ensure Delaware is an attractive place to live for families of all types; we’ll make the most of our state’s housing resources; and we’ll provide our people with the economic opportunity to keep Delaware moving forward.”
Every week, the Governor’s office releases a new Weekly Message in video, audio, and transcript form. The message is available on:
