In 2006, the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs (CURA) at the University of Minnesota's Humphrey Institute  conducted a survey of local officials from 39 cities regarding the Met Council's affordable housing planning goals, their view of the feasibility of those goals, perceived barriers to affordable housing development , and tools the city had tried to promote affordable housing development.   Survey results provide a wealth of information useful for those advocating for more affordable housing.  Clicking on a City name below leads to detailed survey results for that city.  Other results of the survey are listed below the City table.
