- Abstract:
-
This dataset contains Assisted Rental Housing Information for the State of Florida current to February 2009. Assisted Rental Housing addresses were gathered from the Florida Housing Data Clearinghouse. This dataset contains fields denoting the physical address, housing program type, and population information for assisted rental units located
in Florida. This data is meant to be used for planning purposes only and is not intended to represent a 100% inventory of assisted rental housing. This layer is an update of the previously released FGDL "GC_ASSISTEDHOUSING.SHP" 2003 layer.
- Purpose:
-
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems
for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Entries in the Inventory database include the following types
of information:
Name, Address, City, County, and Zip Code: We have included
the most recently available information on the name of each
development, along with its street address, city, county, and zip
code.
Total Units: This represents the total number of apartments
within each development. Some developments have more total units
than total assisted units. (See below for a description of assisted
units). This may occur because one or more units are reserved for
employees of the property or because some units do not have income
restrictions associated with them.
Total Assisted Units: This represents the total number of
units that have received some form of financial assistance for
construction and/or operation or for which income restrictions
within a larger development apply. The financial assistance may
have been obtained through federal, state or local government
sources. In some cases, information on the number of assisted units
was not available. These developments will have N/A in the total
assisted units column.
Population or Target Area Served: Developments may be
designated to serve families, the elderly, and certain other groups
that are described below. Note that when no information was
available on the population served by a particular development, N/A
appears in the population served column.
Family: A development designated family serves the general
population. These developments may serve any household of
qualifying income, including those with only one person. They may
also serve the elderly, the disabled or other special needs
populations.
Elderly: Apartments in elderly developments are typically reserved
for those 62 years of age or older. Some properties that serve
older persons may include householders who are 55 years of age or
more.
Disabled: Some developments serve households that may include one
or more persons with disabilities. These disabilities may be
physical disabilities, but may also denote properties primarily
serving individuals with mental disabilities. Note to Users:
Datasets provided by various organizations use the term disabled,
rather than persons with disabilities. Although disabled is no
longer the preferred terminology, we have used it if data have been
recorded that way by the source organization.
Elderly-disabled: Some developments are intended to serve persons
who are 62 years of age or older and have a disability. These
properties are shown in the Inventory as Elderly-disabled. This is
a different category from Elderly Disabled, which denotes
developments in which persons who are either 62 years of age or
more or who have a disability may reside, regardless of age.
Please see note above regarding use of the term disabled rather
than persons with disabilities.
Fisher and/or Farm Worker: This housing is provided by programs
administered by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation that serve
commercial fishing workers and farm workers. Due to data
limitations, we are unable to determine at this time whether a
property serves primarily fishing workers or farm workers. See also
the description of Farm Worker and Section 514/516 below.
Farm Worker: Developments that are designated as Farm Worker serve
farm workers and are provided by funding administered by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Service. The USDA also
refers to these properties as Labor Housing.
Congregate: Developments designated as Congregate provide central
dining facilities that may be designed to serve elderly, disabled
or other special needs populations.
Intermediate Care: Intermediate care facilities are provided for
those who may need convalescent care.
Urban Infill: The Florida Housing Finance Corporation designates
certain properties as Urban Infill. These developments make use of
existing urban infrastructure and may contribute to community
revitalization efforts. Where available, we provide this
information to the user.
Program: Program information tells the user what program or
programs have been used in the construction or rehabilitation of
the development. A brief description of program information
contained within the Inventory appears below.
Affordable Housing Loan. This describes a loan made by the Florida
Housing Finance Corporation.
Demonstration Project. This is a designation for certain
developments funded through programs administered by the Florida
Housing Finance Corporation. Demonstration Program funds have been
used to provide housing for various special needs groups, such as
people with developmental disabilities, farm workers, extremely low
income or homeless Floridians, and elders in need of assisted
living.
FDIC. Properties with the FDIC designation are developments that
have been sold by the FDIC-sometimes at below market value-in
exchange for the new owner's legal commitment to include some
income-restricted units in the development. This requirement is
binding on future owners of the property. The requirement to offer
a certain number of units on an income-restricted basis is usually
for a minimum of 40 to 50 years.
Guarantee. Developments with a Guarantee designation have received
assistance in the form of loan guarantees from the Florida Housing
Finance Corporation, sometimes in conjunction with a guarantee
offered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
HOME. Multifamily developments with the HOME designation are
provided through funds provided to the State of Florida and certain
larger local governments by the federal government. State HOME
funds are administered by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation,
while local funds are administered at the local level.
Housing Credits. Housing Credits refers to a tax incentive program
known as the Low Income Housing Tax Credit. Each year, the federal
government allocates housing tax credits to the states for new
construction or substantial rehabilitation of rental housing based
on state population. When a for-profit or nonprofit developer is
successful in the state-wide competition for Low Income Housing Tax
Credit resources, they typically sell the tax credits to large
investors in order to raise equity capital for the construction or
substantial rehabilitation of rental housing serving households at
or below 60 percent of Area Median Income.
Bonds. Developments financed with bonds typically make use of tax-
exempt financing available through state and local governments. The
federal government limits the amount of tax-exempt bonds that can
be issued within a state in any given year. This maximum is based
upon state population.
Non-Profit. This denotes developments that non-profit organizations
have developed. Although the non-profit designation is not a
program, data provided by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation
sometimes provide this type of information in the program
designation. In turn, we provide this to the user in order to
supply the most complete information possible.
Pre-Development Loan. These are properties that have received loan
assistance in the pre-development phase. These loans are generally
only available to non-profits, community-based organizations, local
governments, and public housing authorities.
HUD Risk Sharing. The Risk Sharing program is a joint effort
between the Florida Housing Finance Corporation and the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development. Properties with this
designation have received some form of loan guarantee through this
cooperative effort between state and federal government.
SAIL. Properties with the SAIL designation have received financing
through the State Apartment Incentive Loan administered by the
Florida Housing Finance Corporation. SAIL funds are provided
through the State Housing Trust Fund.
Section 8 New Construction. In the Inventory database, Section 8
New Construction refers to housing built under a now-inactive
federal program titled the Section 8 New Construction and
Substantial Rehabilitation program. These properties were
originally built under contract with the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development.
Rural Housing Service. This designation appears when a development
has been financed, in whole or in part, by funds administered by
the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Service
(formerly known as the Farmers' Home Administration).
Section 515. Section 515 properties are funded by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Service (formerly known
as the Farmers' Home Administration). They provide housing in rural
areas and smaller cities. Note that in some counties, properties
designated as 515 may primarily serve farm workers.
Section 514/516. Section 514/516 refers to loans and grants
administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing
Service. These properties provide rental housing for farm laborers.
They may provide housing in rural areas, smaller cities, and in
urban areas where needed to house those who work on nearby farms.
In some areas, farm workers are also housed in properties financed
through the Rural Housing Service's Section 515 program.
HUD Multi-Family. Properties with this designation are provided
through programs administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development. These properties include those funded under the
following programs: Section 202, Section 811, Section 236, Section
8 New Construction and Rehabilitation, Sections 221(d)3 and 221(d)
4. Note that the Section 236 and Section 8 New Construction and
Rehabilitation programs are no longer active, although many
properties funded in the past continue to provide affordable
housing in Florida.
HOPE VI. HOPE VI properties are part of a federal program
administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development that is designed to demolish the most dilapidated
public housing in the nation and replace it with new, lower-density
development. Local public housing authorities compete nationally
for HOPE VI resources and may also compete for state-administered
resources such as housing credits. Note that at present, our data
for HOPE VI developments are incomplete. We are working with HUD to
expand the information we make available via the Florida Housing
Data Clearinghouse. See Notes for Users.
The information contained in the Inventory of Assisted Rental
Housing is meant to be a general guide to affordable rental housing
provided through various public programs. Although every effort has
been made to ensure that it is comprehensive, errors and omissions
may exist. Please alert the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing
to any discrepancy.

What is Geocoding?
Geocoding is term used to describe the act of address matching. Geocoding
is the process of finding a geographic location (x, y point) for an address
(such as street number and name, city, state, and ZIP Code) on a map.
Geocoding is based off the typical address scheme for the US, in which one
side of the street contains even house numbers while the other side of the
street contains odd house numbers.
The geocoding process uses an algorithm to find the geographic location
of addresses. First, a street segment is identified using the zip code and
street name. Next, the geographic location of the address is matched using
the building number to determine how far down the street and on which side
of the street the building is located.
Geocoding Accuracy
The locational accuracy of geocoded addresses may vary from urban to rural
areas due to the algorithm used to generate the geographic locations of
addresses. The algorithm assumes that the size of parcels are equivalent
along a road route. This assumption tends to be more consistent in urban
areas, where the size of parcels vary less than in rural areas.
Consequently, the results of geocoded addresses in urban areas are usually
more reliable than those in rural areas.
For example, the locational accuracy of rural addresses can be slightly
off because some parcels along a rural route may be 15 acres while others
may be 2.5 acres, but the geocoding algorithm assumes that the addresses
are distributed evenly along the route.

What Properties are Included in the Inventory of Assisted Housing?
- Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
-
Listings in the Inventory include developments with assisted
rental units that may be owned by government, nonprofit or for-
profit organizations. [Please note that information on developments
owned by public housing authorities is not yet complete.
Information on these developments may be obtained from contacting
public housing authorities in the area of interest. A separate
database on this website gives contact information for each of
Florida's public housing authorities.] . In order to provide the
most comprehensive information on assisted developments in Florida,
we have defined assistance broadly to include below market
financing, tax credits, grants, loan guarantees, federal and state
risk sharing programs, and tenant subsidies.
- Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
-
While most assisted developments have certain income
restrictions in place, others do not. For example, some properties
assisted by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development do
not have income restrictions. However, they were developed under
strict unit cost limitations; therefore, the resulting housing
product is typically affordable to households at lower income
levels.
- Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

The Inventory is searchable based on the city or county in
which developments are located. It is also searchable based on
population served and the program that provided funding for the
development.

side of the street contains even house numbers while the other side of the
street contains odd house numbers.
- Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
-
The geocoding process uses an algorithm to find the geographic location
of addresses. First, a street segment is identified using the zip code and
street name. Next, the geographic location of the address is matched using
the building number to determine how far down the street and on which side
of the street the building is located.

Geocoding Accuracy
The locational accuracy of geocoded addresses may vary from urban to rural
areas due to the algorithm used to generate the geographic locations of
addresses. The algorithm assumes that the size of parcels are equivalent
along a road route. This assumption tends to be more consistent in urban
areas, where the size of parcels vary less than in rural areas.
Consequently, the results of geocoded addresses in urban areas are usually
more reliable than those in rural areas.
- Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
-
For example, the locational accuracy of rural addresses can be slightly
off because some parcels along a rural route may be 15 acres while others
may be 2.5 acres, but the geocoding algorithm assumes that the addresses
are distributed evenly along the route.

Assisted Housing Facility locations were obtained from the FHDC
Website in February of 2009. GeoPlan downloaded this data in an excel
format and converted it to a dbf. The dbf was then geocoded
against ARC Logistics Route GDT Roads and converted into a
shapefile with the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection.
Process Steps for FHDC Assisted Housing Facility Locations:
-Downloaded Excel spreadsheet from the following FHDC website:
<http://www.flhousingdata.shimberg.ufl.edu/apps/ahi/asst_housing_inventory.pl>
-The information downloaded was then reformatted to a Database File
Format. The addresses were geocoded against ARC Logistics Route GDT
Roads Shapefile created using FGDL Albers HPGN map projection.
Original file from Shimberg contained 2262 records. There were problems
with the geocoding of 518 records due to improperly formed addresses or
incorrect zip codes. Of these 518, 373 were corrected. The remaining 145
records were omitted from the dataset. Final data contains 2116 records.

A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
