Neighborhoods of Leased Public Housing

University of Illinois at Chicago Circle

Gail E. Weinberger

University of Illinois at Chicago Circle

A major problem in the operation of housing programs is finding suitable locations for public housing. We examine the characteristics of the locations used by the Section 23 Leased Housing Program in San Diego. Our concern is whether or not this program, which uses privately owned dwellings, is able to provide low-income households with "suitable living environments." We compare the characteristics of city blocks that became Section 23 locations with blocks that did not on safety, population concentration, and social composition. The results are that theprogram is only partially successful. Section 23 housing was relatively dispersed throughout the city, but refined analysis techniques show that Section 23 housing is concentrated in more disadvantaged areas than those that did not become Section 23 locations.
