The Boone County Community Services Department (BCCSD), hereby solicits formal written proposals from qualified organizations for the provision and delivery of a housing study for Boone County, Missouri. In June 2022, the BCCSD released the Boone County Upward Mobility Action Plan (MAP) which describes goals, strategies, and target outcomes for boosting mobility from poverty. Three workgroups were dedicated to building out the Boone County MAP, with one focusing on Fair and Inclusive Housing. The goal developed by this group is, “All people in Boone County have safe, quality, and affordable housing.” A strategy to achieve this goal is to conduct a county-wide housing study of Boone County. The housing study will help inform and guide the City of Columbia and County of Boone to increase affordable housing stock.
