NEWPORT — The winning numbers to the housing survey done by the 99 Gallery in Newport are in. The number was randomly drawn, and the winner will receive a $100 grocery gift certificate.
The 99 Gallery in Newport wanted to know just how serious the problem of the lack of affordable housing was in the Northeast Kingdom. They started a housing survey, encouraging others to share their experiences with the issues, as well as filling out a series of yes or no questions.
Some of the questions in the survey were:
Do you fear loosing your home to foreclosure?
Do you fear loosing your current rental?
Are you treated with respect by agencies which help you with housing costs?
As the survey points out, it is a crisis is only one or two people find themselves in substandard housing. Results are being processed, and will be made public shortly.
