Camden and the surrounding area Launch Community Housing Study Survey to Support Future Growth Camden, Arkansas 5/23/25 — The Ouachita Partnership for Economic Development (OPED), Housing Committee is launching a Community Housing Study Survey to understand better the current and future housing needs of our area. This vital initiative will gather feedback from residents, workers, and stakeholders to help guide planning decisions and support sustainable growth in our community. Why the Survey Matters As our area continues to grow and evolve, ensuring access to quality, affordable, and appropriate housing for all residents is a top priority. The survey will provide valuable insights into: • Current housing challenges facing residents • The types of housing needed now and in the future, • Preferences for housing location, design, and affordability • How housing intersects transportation, jobs, and community services “Our goal is to make informed decisions that reflect the real needs of the people who live and work here,” said James Lee Silliman, Executive Director of OPED. “Whether you’re a homeowner, renter, business owner, or planning to move to our community, your input is critical.” Planning for Growth The data collected through the survey will be used to shape housing policies, guide development strategies, and support grant applications for funding future projects. It will also help ensure that housing growth is aligned with plans for infrastructure, transportation, and community services. How to Participate The survey is open from 5/27/25 to 7/1/25 and can be accessed online at the following website: www.explorecamden.com Or by entering the following into your search bar. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CamdenARCommunityHousingSurvey The survey can also be accessed by scanning a QR Code on paper copies available at area restaurants, churches, businesses, clinics, hospitals, libraries, East Camden businesses, OPED, the Camden Chamber, Camden City Hall, East Camden City Hall, and the County Courthouse. The survey link will be posted on social media, as well as on the City of Camden's, the Ouachita Partnership for Economic Development's, and the Camden Regional Chamber of Commerce's websites. All responses are confidential, and the survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete. To participate, one must be a resident of Ouachita County, 18 years or older. Let Your Voice Shape the Future of the Camden area. Everyone deserves a safe, suitable place to call home. By participating in the Community Housing Study Survey, residents are helping build a stronger, more inclusive community for today—and for generations to come.
