Community Development Department Fair Housing Survey
Bristol Township is currently looking for input from citizens and key stakeholders in the community to contribute to the Township’s 2019 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). The AI is a mandatory report submitted to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that identifies fair housing issues and concerns within the jurisdiction as well as the Township's plans for using HUD funding to address fair housing within our community. Imperative in this process is community engagement and public feedback. The link below will take you to a brief survey on the state of fair housing in Bristol Township. The survey will take no longer than five minutes of your time and all responses will remain anonymous. Thank you in advance for your time and input. The survey will be available until December 15, 2018. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact Heather Mahaley in Community Development at 267-812-3102 or hmahaley@bristoltownship.org. Levittown Chosen As 41st Best Place To Live By Money Magazine Money Magazine, in its annual Best Places to Live 2016 edition, has named the Levittown section of Bristol Township as the 41st best place to live in America. Levittown is the only Pennsylvania community to make the list. The magazine cited jobs, affordable housing, property taxes, public schools, healthcare, recreational opportunities, and low crime as their criteria for the methodology in determining their rankings.
Council President Craig Bowen said that it was a great accomplishment to be recognized by a highly-regarded national publication such as Money Magazine. “The Township Council made some very difficult decisions to reduce the cost of government and invested millions of tax dollars to improve Bristol Township,” Bowen said. “It’s nice to be saluted nationally. ”Bowen noted that the Council’s priorities of job creation, improving housing stock, lowering property taxes, and investing in technology to bring the police department up to date to fight crime have clearly paid off.
