Abstrakt: Just as the HOPE VI program resulted in the loss of numerous public housing units, privately owned units of rental housing, subsidized as a part of HUD or USDA programs in the 1970s and 1980s, are now leaving the affordable housing inventory as a result of the expiration of the government subsidy. These units are being converted to market-rate rental housing or closed as a result of poor physical conditions. Residents of the lost properties are being relocated with Housing Choice Vouchers (HCVs). This study explores the extent to which such moves have changed the opportunities available in local neighborhoods to the residents relocated from four subsidized housing communities in central Florida: Glen Springs Manor, Seminary Lane, and Kennedy Homes in Alachua County and Rogall Apartments in Pinellas County. Geospatial analysis is employed to evaluate the changes in opportunity across a variety of neighborhood characteristics, including school quality, crime, access to transit and health care, housing quality, employment opportunity, and poverty rates.
