Consultation has concluded
Boone County, in partnership with the City of Columbia, invites all residents to contribute to the groundbreaking Boone County Housing Study. By participating in a community input meeting, completing a community survey, or both, residents can ensure their unique experiences and insights will be heard.
To complete the survey, please visit https://forms.gle/txTRqsQyjoNu39iA9. This anonymous survey will provide more information about the housing needs, preferences, and challenges in Boone County.
The Housing Study, a part of the Boone County Upward Mobility Action Plan, represents a significant step toward addressing housing challenges and fostering sustainable community development throughout the county. In December 2023, Boone County announced its decision to engage the expertise of Amarach Planning Services, a consultancy focused on urban planning and housing analysis, for the Boone County Housing Study.
Community Input Meetings are an integral part of the Boone County Housing Study, providing an opportunity to gather diverse perspectives and insights vital to shaping the study’s conclusions. The Community Input Meetings will be facilitated by Dr. David Boston, owner of Amarach Planning Services. All residents are welcome and encouraged to attend any of the following meetings:
Monday, April 8, 1:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. Columbia Public Library, Friends Room, 100 W. Broadway, Columbia

“The scarcity of affordable housing is a significant problem impacting communities across the state and nation,” said Boone County Presiding Commissioner Kip Kendrick. “The affordable housing study won’t be a fix-all solution, but it will provide us paths toward addressing this issue across the County. The success of the housing study is dependent on community engagement. We encourage everyone to complete the survey and to attend one of the community meetings during the week of April 8.”
