No. The easy answer is no. We know we need housing built because we have people crying out, sending emails, or posting on social media or whatever, saying they can't find any place to live.
Student housing is something altogether different. The university has its push to build residences, and there are opportunities to have off-campus housing as well, but as soon as you move a student off campus into housing in the town, it takes away an opportunity from someone who lives in the community, and we're all in the same community. I get it.
Anyway, no, there is no firm number on the housing need within our community. There's also not a firm number on how many are unhoused, because a lot of people, particularly in rural communities, are couch surfing or maybe have a tent somewhere, and it's difficult to know what that number is, as opposed to a city rate for people living on the street, where you can get a better count of the unhoused.
