Florida Housing Data Clearinghouse Updated

The Shimberg Center for Housing Studies announces the annual update to the Florida Housing Data Clearinghouse Web site. Check out updated data in the Profiles, Comparisons, Assisted Housing Inventory, Construction and Sales, Household Demographic Data, and Population Projections datasets.

The Assisted Housing Inventory provides information about Florida's subsidized rental housing stock. Three new data tools have been added this year:

• Lost Properties Inventory: A database of more than 400 properties that have left Florida's assisted housing stock, such as HUD Section 8 opt-outs and mortgage prepayments, properties with prepaid USDA Rural Development (RD) mortgages, and early Low Income Housing Tax Credit and mortgage revenue bond properties no longer under compliance requirements.

• Assisted Housing Inventory Tenant Characteristics: Stats on household income, race, elderly status, and household size for tenants in developments funded by HUD, RD, and Florida Housing Finance Corporation.

• HUD Tenant and Unit Characteristics, REAC Scores, and M2M Status: A comprehensive dataset on Florida's HUD properties, including tenant data from HUD's 2008 Picture of Subsidized Households report, REAC inspection score histories (up to nine scores), and detailed information about properties in the Mark-to-Market program.

Earlier in the year, the Shimberg Center released the State of Florida's Housing 2009, a compendium of facts on Florida's housing supply. The report includes descriptions of the changes in housing sales volume and prices from 2007 to 2008 and the effects of new home construction on Florida's economic output, earnings, and employment.

For more information about the Clearinghouse, please call the Shimberg Center at 352-273-1992 or 800-259-5705, or e-mail us at fhdc-comments@shimberg.ufl.edu.
