The Housing Needs Assessment Model
This paper outlines a comparatively recently developed method for preparing national housing needs estimates in developing countries. The method is distinguished from other approaches to making such estimates in that (a) in addition to computing the number of new units and upgraded units required over the plan period to satisfy various sources of housing need, it also computes the level of investment in the housing sector necessary to carry out this program, given a definition of applicable building standards by the analyst; and, (b) the calculations are done on a personal computer, permitting more complex computations and sensitivity analysis to be undertaken readily. The assumptions embodied in these calculations and the outputs produced receive special attention.
