Housing Needs Assessment Update-Which year do you think the Housing Needs Assessment update should occur? (The current needs assessment runs through 2027).

Below is the recommendation on timing from Bowen:
ESRI (demographics) data comes out each June, so I would commission a housing study right around that time. Unless there was something compelling or time-sensitive, I would wait until 2027 to commission an update, it would give the markets more time to evolve and maybe give us a better picture of housing/demographics/economics after the influences of decisions made in Washington DC and following the 2026 mid-terms.
