The Independence City Commission will hear a report on a recent analysis detailing housing needs within the city.

The commission will hear the report later on today, which covers several areas in which the city could improve its housing situation. The report compares the situation in Independence to both state and national levels. Several summaries of findings are included within the report, including a finding that the shortage of quality housing can be expected to persist in the future.
