Housing Matters Listening Sessions

What makes people feel most at home? Family & Friends Friendliness & Land and Space Proximity to Safety & Cleanliness Diversity resources Being familiar with Sense of community Quiet and room for Walkability to things Free of mold, bugs, those around you with neighbors activities that are nearby and crime 32 Add a footer

Community Challenges ○ Better traffic signage, sidewalks and lights  “Walking conditions are not safe; there are no lights, no shoulders and no sidewalks.” ○ Transportation  “Chesterfield could use some public transportation and sidewalks. [There are] no sidewalks where I live. You have to walk in the street or get in your car. There is no other transportation” Add a footer

Housing Challenges ○ Expensive Apartments/Houses  “The rent started at $300 and it’s now at $600-700 .”  “The mortgage can be the same as an apartment. My friend was paying $1,300 for renting a home.”  "The lower the rent the poorer the property maintenance."  "Lower income neighborhoods have a lot of shooting and violence. So people are forced to live elsewhere a commute. It’s expensive in Chester. " Add a footer

Housing Challenges  “A studio was starting at $1,700 on Jefferson Davis.”  “I want to be in my own place, but prices are high.”  “In Chester, houses start at $250,000 and they’re not even worth it.”  “They’re only renovating and doing luxury.”  “Things aren’t affordable for everyone. What about the folks who can’t afford luxury?” Add a footer
