We invited people to answer 8 multiple-choice questions about different topics relating to the social and affordable housing system. For each question they could rank their responses from highest to lowest, telling us what their top priorities are.
We have now reviewed the responses. For some questions, there was a clear preference; for other questions, responses were spread more evenly across the categories.
The findings included here give a summary of top responses for each question. We also asked a few optional questions about the participants so that we can understand who was responding to the survey.
