Housing Needs Survey for Harston

This survey is being carried out to assess housing need in the parish of Harston. Your Parish Council is supporting an independent survey by Cambridgeshire ACRE. Through this survey we hope to identify all those existing and potential households in Harston who cannot afford to rent or buy a home on the open market. However, we are also interested in the demand for self-build and market housing.
The results will help decide whether there is a need for affordable housing in the parish and, if so, the type of affordable housing that would best meet local needs so it is important that as many people as possible take part.
The first part of this survey should be completed by all households (even those who either don’t have a housing need and those already on the Housing Register / registered with Home-Link). If you indicate that you might have a housing need, you will be asked to complete a further section to collect information on your circumstances.
A separate survey needs to be completed for each new household that will be formed so, for example, if you have two adult children in your house who each need a new home, then each adult child must complete a survey – just share the link to the survey with them so they can access it and complete for themselves.
This survey has been made accessible to every household in the parish. We would also like to reach those who have moved away from Harston but who would like to return for family or work reasons. If you know anyone fitting this criteria, please pass on the link to this online survey so they might complete it.
The survey will close on Friday 15 December 2023
If you have any questions about this survey, please contact Jenna Brame, Rural and Community Led Housing Enabler on 01353 865022 or email her at jenna.brame@cambsacre.org.uk.
All information provided will be treated in the strictest confidence.
