Affordable Housing Needs Assessment
Abstract
With growing support over the Affordable Housing Trust Fund ballot initiative in Cincinnati, this research assignment looks at the state of affordable housing from the perspective of residents. This project took an environmental survey of the 248-unit Arts Apartments complex in the West End neighborhood. Residents were asked a series of questions to determine the safety, health and condition of their living environments, as well as if they had any interest in organizing residents at the Arts Apartments. This data was then taken and analyzed to find any common patterns and other statistics to help explain the situation at the Arts Apartments. With a growing housing crisis, affordable housing residents are often forgotten, and this research assignment looks to highlight their voices and show the reality of affordable housing units in Cincinnati. The Arts Apartments offered an interesting case study in affordable housing and the residents responses surprisingly paint a hopeful future for affordable housing in Cincinnati.
