Presenter: Caleb Stewart, Shimberg Center for Housing Studies
Moderator: Bill O'Dell, Shimberg Center for Housing Studies

The Shimberg Center for Housing Studies at the University of Florida will present two new research products designed to help governments, developers, advocates and others to make informed decisions about affordable housing development and preservation. The Affordable Housing Suitability Model is a GIS-based tool that provides data and maps on local environmental conditions, transit accessibility, neighborhood characteristics, and driving costs to help decision-makers assess affordable housing locations. The Lost Properties Inventory (LPI) is a database of omore than 400 formerly subsidized rental housing developments in Florida. The Center will present research on the location, status (rental, condo, demolished) and current market-rate rents for LPI developments.
