Public housing additionsreduced home values while LIHTC resultsare mixed. <strong>The</strong> number <strong>of</strong> units added orremoved was very important with positiveeffects depending on the number <strong>of</strong> units.Buron, Nolden,Heintz andStewart (AbtAssociates) 20001992-199439 Projectsin 5 MSA'S:Boston,Kansas City,MiamiMilwaukeeand OaklandLIHTCFreeman 2004 2000 All MSA's LIHTCLIHTCExtent <strong>of</strong>concentration <strong>of</strong>subsidizedhousingExtent <strong>of</strong>concentration <strong>of</strong>subsidizedhousingDescriptive statistics ongeographic location <strong>of</strong> LIHTCunits.Descriptive statistics ongeographic location <strong>of</strong> LIHTCunits.LIHTC projects are serving low incomehouseholds (74%) but have a significantlevel <strong>of</strong> section 8 assistance (37%) most inthe form <strong>of</strong> site-based subsidies. Projectsvaried as to economic diversity with halfhaving more than 50% under 30% MFI.Neighborhoods were income diverse buthad high minority rates. Half <strong>of</strong>developments were located in QualifiedCensus Tracts (QCT's). Recommendationsfor further study include comparison <strong>of</strong>where LIHTC and Section 8 residents liveand more in depth study <strong>of</strong> the impact <strong>of</strong>LIHTC properties on their neighborhoods.Slightly less than half <strong>of</strong> LIHTC units arelocated in the suburbs which is higher thanother federally funded site-based projects(24%). LIHTC neighborhoods are raciallyconcentrated but experienced larger declinesin poverty during the 1990's than otherneighborhoods. Policy recommendation tosite more family units outside high povertyand high minority city neighborhoods.192
