DESCRIPTION

The selected vendor will be responsible for creating a comprehensive housing study and student housing needs assessment for the future of housing within the agency in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The project will involve a thorough examination of both the current on-campus housing inventory and the off-campus housing market.
