– University of Michigan Public Health will be joining us with a community survey for one final week!
Students participating in a summer program at University of Michigan are partnering with Michigan Medicine to explore areas of improvement pertaining to housing within Washtenaw County. The sole goal of the survey administration is to ensure that there is a better understanding of what the community wants and needs to elevate housing within Washtenaw County.
The information will be reviewed and analyzed by students and presented to Michigan Medicine. That data will then be reviewed and used by staff to help guide real implementation strategies and decision-making around housing and other health priorities.
