Description: Income surveys can be daunting, but they are often needed to secure vital funding when census data is outdated or does not accurately reflect the community’s true economic status. Income surveys are commonly used to determine the Median Household Income (MHI) of a specific service area, establish eligibility for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, and improve a communities’ chance of achieving hardship eligibility for other funding sources such as those administered by the NYS Environmental Facilities Corporation (NYSEFC) and US Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Looking to secure funding that requires an income survey, but not sure where to start? Join the New York State Office of Community Renewal, Syracuse University Environmental Finance Center, and the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation for this no-cost hybrid workshop to learn when an income survey is needed, receive step-by-step guidance on designing and conducting a statistically sound survey, and understand key procedural requirements of surveys per NYSEFC and CDBG!

In-person attendance is encouraged but limited to 50 seats. Sessions will be live-streamed for hybrid viewing. If you would like to attend virtually, please indicate so on the registration form. Please note lunch is not provided.
