Housing is a critical element of a vibrant and sustainable Steuben County. An appropriate mix of housing options is important to meet the needs and desires of our talented workforce and our elder citizens who would like to stay in familiar communities. The department actively furthers Fair Housing principles and partners with other agencies and local governments to improve unsafe or substandard housing conditions and provide affordable housing choice for all income levels.
