HCV Baseline Study Rural & small-market housing need

Why not HCV rentals? — Landlord baseline

Thank you for helping with a nationwide baseline study on Housing Choice Voucher (HCV / Section 8) lease-up conditions in rural and small markets. This short form asks private landlords and small operators what makes accepting vouchers hard — or workable — from your side. This is a research baseline, not a product pitch. Short answers are fine. We will not publish identifiable comments without permission.

Privacy: Responses are used only for this baseline study. Contact details are used only if you opt in to follow-up, or if you email us first.

About 5–8 minutes.

A — You and your rentals

If you operate in more than one state, choose the state for the market this invite is about (or where you have the most units).

e.g. Ashdown / Little River County.

How would you describe that market? *
About how many rental units do you own or manage? *
What is the most common bedroom size among your rentals? *
B — HCV experience
Have you ever rented to a Housing Choice Voucher (HCV / Section 8) tenant? *
C — Barriers
What most often keeps you from accepting HCV — or from accepting it on more units? *

Select all that apply.

Which single barrier matters most to you right now? *

If several apply, pick the one that would most change your decision if it were fixed.

D — Willingness under conditions
Would any of the following make you more willing to try HCV — or to accept it on more units? *

Select all that would help. This is about conditions in general, not an offer. If choosing “None of these…,” you may leave other options unchecked.

If only one change were possible, which would help most? *
E — Open text & follow-up

Optional. Do not include tenant names or other confidential tenant information.

May we contact you for a short follow-up (email or brief call)? *

Needed if you say yes to follow-up.
