CECD: Chatham Affordable Housing Analysis
Project Goal: This project attempts to improve the share of owner occupied units in Chatham among Black people. To do so, CECD wishes to identify Housing Units that are too expensive for private developers to rehabilitate, but are not too expensive to rehabilitate with public (Affordable Requirements Ordinance) funding from the city. Houses that have been identified as such will be rehabilitated and released into the market as affordable housing units.
Project Deliverables:
- Dataset of houses and housing characteristics
- An inventory of houses that fall within the aforementioned “sweet spot”
