"Oregon, We Need Your Voice!" — Darin DeHaan, City Manager

https://cityoforegon.org/nas/

Right now, residents in Polo and Mount Morris have submitted more responses to the housing survey than Oregon. Let's change that!

The survey being conducted in partnership with the Illinois Housing Development Authority will help identify housing needs, challenges, and opportunities in our community. The information gathered can influence future planning efforts, funding opportunities, housing programs, neighborhood improvements, and community revitalization initiatives.

Every response matters. Whether you're a homeowner, renter, landlord, young adult looking for your first home, or a senior planning for the future, your input helps paint a clearer picture of Oregon's housing needs.

Don't let other communities speak louder than Oregon. (Actually congrats to Polo and Mt. Morris residents good job!) Take a few minutes to complete the survey and make sure our community's needs are heard.

The more responses we receive, the stronger our case for future housing investments and resources.

Let's show everyone what Oregon can do. Take the survey today and encourage your friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers to do the same!

Oregon deserves to be represented—and that starts with you.

*Survey website will also be on your water bill this month.
