Anderson Resident Survey

As the primary beneficiary of CDBG and HOME funds, income eligible citizens of Anderson are key stakeholders in the decision making process as it relates to the use of funds received. Each year, the Department of Community Development must look to the public to identify needs and uncover gaps that exist in service delivery in which Community Development Department funding might apply. We urge you to take a few minutes to fill out this survey to assure that your voice will be heard in the planning of programs for the upcoming year.
