24. PURDUE UNIVERSITY Problem Statement Problems for HFHI –No centralized survey administration and data collection system. –There is no concrete quantitative data showing the benefits of the Habitat program to the community, both locally and nationally. –Homeowner information and responses must be securely collected, transferred, and analyzed
