Boone County Housing Study
Boone County and City of Columbia Housing Study
Boone County, in partnership with the City of Columbia, released a comprehensive housing study that includes an examination of current housing trends, demands and disparities. The Boone County and City of Columbia Housing Study is part of the Boone County Upward Mobility Action Plan and was conducted by Amarach Planning Services, a consultancy focused on urban planning and housing analysis. The study was completed with a mixture of qualitative and quantitative data sources, including community meetings, stakeholder interviews and a survey conducted by Amarach.

A full-day summit was held on October 24, 2024 with an abbreviated session held in the evening.

Boone County Upward Mobility
Community members are encouraged to join and participate in the Boone County Upward Mobility project to see move solutions forward surrounding affordable housing. Boone County's Upward Mobility project is an initiative aimed at increasing economic mobility from poverty and utilizes Results-Based Accountability (RBA) to drive equity-centered and data-informed decisions. RBA involves community stakeholders at each step of the planning process to guide implementation of intervention strategies identified by the community as part of a Mobility Action Plan. The Fair and Inclusive Housing workgroups will use the Boone County and City of Columbia Housing Study to guide next steps. Go to Upward Mobility to learn more and get involved.
