Mason City Iowa Housing Initiative

The City of Mason City is working to meet the housing needs that are unique to our community. To guide this process, the City worked with a consultant to create a Housing Market Study and Needs Analysis. The intent of this study was to discover a meaningful sense of the Mason City housing market as well as an understanding of key housing issues for decision makers and community members. The goal was to provide a measured assessment of present and future unmet housing demand and a deeper understanding of the housing demand over the next five to ten years. The desired result is a basis for community leaders to plan housing policies, affordable housing strategies, and to meet the needs specific to the local economy and the community at large.
