Interest in the global unaffordable housing dilemma is manifest in its growing publications. However, there is a limited systematic review of the literature concerning data science approaches to address the social issues of owning affordable homes through Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs. The systematic literature review was performed using Google Scholar and followed the phases prescribed in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). This study synthesizes data sources, tools, analytical approaches, and theoretical frameworks from the literature on affordable housing issues using data science methods. Our findings indicate that researchers have approached the issue completely differently from each other, with census data and usage of mapping visualizations as being a common trend.

14. Public Data Sources vs. Collecting Primary Data
Initial Goals
Our initial goals was use publicly available
data sources to objectively measure impact
of homeownership of HabiJax homes.
HabiJax conducted a quality of life survey
but received only 60 responses.
We looked into Property Appraiser, and
Tax records; but datasets were not
relevant to formulate impact of affordable
homeownership.

Longitudinal Goal
The HabiJax executive team is tasking
FL-DSSG to conduct a retrospective
impact evaluation of affordable housing
provided to income-constrained families
over the past 30 years.
15. Research Questions
1. What are the generational
impacts HabiJax has on low-
income partner families?
2. Do the future generations of
the HabiJax partner families
benefit from their program?
3. Are they better or worse off,
and in what areas?

Research Objectives
1. Select a sample of HabiJax
homeowners who live in the
Jacksonville, FL area willing to
participate in our study.
2. Collect qualitative open-ended
interview responses from them
regarding their experiences with
the program; as well as to collect
quantitative data from them in the
form demographic information.
3. Synthesize and analyze the data.
4. Repeat objectives 1-3 in 5-year
intervals of the next 30 years.
