Abstract

This study examined affordable housing locations in 20 metropolitan areas in the United States. Federally subsidized rental apartments were mapped in each area, and the distances from the apartments to transit stations were measured. The benefits and challenges of different affordable housing locations for residents ages 50 and older were investigated in depth for five of the areas. It was found that over 250,000 affordable apartments are location within 1/2 mile of public transit stations/stops in the 20 metropolitan areas studied, and almost 200,000 were located within 1/4 mile of transit stations/stops. However, over 2/3 of the subsidies will lapse within the next 5 years. Residents of compact neighborhoods with affordable housing received significant benefits from dense urban development. They lived near amenities and were able to take transit or walk to their destinations.
