Rehabilitating Central City Housing: Simulations With the Urban Institute Housing Model
The development of a model of urban housing markets is described, and the procedure and results of its application to simulate the effects of Federal policies for rehabilitating central - city housing are discussed. The policies evaluated by the model are being considered for expanded roles in the Federal Government's plans to revitalize central cities. The principal program evaluated aims at upgrading all substandard, central - city core area dwellings to a level where they will pass strict housing code requirements. It involves an expansion of the Section 312 Rehabilitation Loan Program, particularly into the rental housing market. The second program considered provides assistance payments to households to ensure that those households with low incomes that would have occupied the substandard housing can afford to occupy and maintain that same housing after it has been rehabilitated. The model intends to determine the lasting change effected after rehabilitation for each program. In its application, the model uses four prototypic urban areas constructed to represent standard metropolitan statistical areas in growth rates and minority populations. The rehabilitation is assumed to have been undertaken in 1960, and the model simulates how programs would affect conditions in 1970. The following findings of the simulation are discussed: a decade after being upgraded, the central - city dwellings retain their quality improvement and command higher prices; the diversion of additional modest - income households to the central - city core results in a decline in demand in the rest of the central city and in the suburbs; the amount of rehabilitation preserved increases dramatically when housing assistance is provided to residents; in the absence of housing assistance, the future occupants of low - quality, inner - city housing are supplanted by higher, but still below average income households; rehabilitation, with or without housing assistance, leads to an expansion of modest - quality housing in the central city and its decline in the suburbs.
