  1. MAPPING POVERTY AND HOUSING NEED IN LONG BEACH MaidelLuevano, UP206a, Winter 2011

  2. BACKGROUND • According to the Housing Authority of the City of Long Beach website: • they currently partner with 2,500 property owners • provide 6,300 households with housing assistance and related services • However, based on anecdotal information, the waitlists for affordable housing and Section 8 programs are long. Some people report waiting upwards of 3-5 years; some as long as 10. • Thus the point of departure for this project’s analysis will be to explore the questions of affordable housing supply and it’s spatial relationship to income and poverty indicators; i.e. where is the affordable housing need in Long Beach?
