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.
