WedTech Nov 30 Stephen Guerin and Keith Hunter: An Agent Based Model of Affordable Housing Search

[Stephen Guerin]

SPEAKERS:
Stephen Guerin, RedfishGroup
Keith Hunter, Carnegie Mellon University, Heinz School of Public Policy and Mgmt

TITLE: An Agent Based Model of Affordable Housing Search

LOCATION: 624 Agua Fria Conference Room
TIME: Wed Nov 30, 12:30p

Lunch will be available for purchase

ABSTRACT
Housing mobility is not well understood. The Housing Choice Voucher Program
informally known as Section 8 housing program is characterized by the issuance
of vouchers that ultimately are not used for relocation. We provide an agent
based simulation that incorporates observed attributes of renters and
neighborhoods. Using this model, we test simple hypotheses about patterns of
movement for Section 8 vouchers. We propose a richer model for informing policy
decisions about public housing resource deployment.

This WedTech talk will feature the quick and dirty techniques used for
incorporating Pittsburgh GIS / demographic data into the NetLogo ABM.

[Gus Koehler]

This looks really good Stephen.  One of my clients might be interested in
seeing it. What do you think?

Sure. I'll post a powerpoint and some support animations in the next couple of
days. Or, would your client be willing to fly me out to present? It would be a
nice excuse to see you in Sacremento.

oops, I didn't mean for the response to go to the list...There should be a new
word in our vocabularly for mistaken broadcasts like that :-)

[Douglas Roberts-2]

Well, the good news is that it wasn't a message to your girlfriend that
accidently got distributed to a wider distribution than intended.  I'm told
that can be quite embarassing.
