The 2009 “Worst Case Housing Needs of People with Disabilities” report (Souza et al. 2011) finds that renter households with nonelderly disabled members are more likely than nondisabled households to have very low incomes, experience worst case housing needs, pay more than 50 percent of their income on rent, and live in inadequate or overcrowded housing. The inadequate housing conditions of the disabled reflects both the relatively lower incomes and assets of disabled persons (She and Livermore 2009) combined with the lack of available housing with accessibility features. Hoffman and Livermore (2012) find that disabled persons also tend to live in less desirable neighborhoods than non-disabled persons. Such neighborhoods exhibit lower median incomes, lower fair market rents, poorer access to public services, and more neighborhood problems such as crime and heavy street noise. Due to their lower incomes, a significant share of disabled households are eligible to receive or already receive federal housing assistance from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). According to the 2013 Picture of Subsidized Households (http://www.huduser.org/portal/datasets/picture/yearlydata.html), approximately 20 percent of households receiving assistance from HUD are disabled. Among those with household heads aged 62 or older, this percentage is twice as high (40 percent) and exhibits substantial variability across HUD program type. Given that the prevalence of disability within the U.S. is expected to increase over time with the aging of the baby boomer population, it is important to understand whether HUD’s assisted housing programs adequately address the growing needs of this population. This report sheds light on these issues. The objective of this research is to consolidate administrative data and survey data related to households with disabilities and designated housing in a form similar to the Picture of Subsidized Households, which presents information on HUD program participants by various levels of geography. We use these data to address the following research questions:  In HUD housing programs and the broader population, what are the prevalence and characteristics of households containing one or more persons with disabilities, by type of disability and geographic unit?  What is the availability of assisted units that the public housing authority or owner/managing agent has designated as accessible, in relation to the need at different geographic levels?  What policy recommendations are supported by the evidence on disability and designated units, and how should HUD data resources be revised to address future questions pertaining to disability? This report is structured as follows: The background section gives an overview of the major HUD programs designed to serve the needs of the disabled population. Next, we provide a brief description of the data relied upon for the analyses and research methods employed. The main 3 body of the report addresses the research questions posed above, with policy recommendations addressed in the conclusion section. Appendix A provides a detailed discussion of the methods and assumptions used to assemble the data analyzed in this report, and Appendix B provides a description of all variables assembled for the final analytical dataset (provided as a separate Excel file). Background: HUD Programs Serving the Needs of the Disabled We begin with an overview of HUD programs serving the disabled, followed by a discussion of how “disability” is defined in this report. All of HUD’s programs serve a portion of the disabled population. According to the 2013 Picture of Subsidized Households, households with disabilities are most prevalent, 32 percent, in the Moderate Rehabilitation program,1 followed by the Housing Choice Voucher program, the Section 8 New Construction/Substantial Rehabilitation program, and the public housing program. The smallest percentages of disabled persons are served by the Section 236 and other multifamily programs. The Section 202 and Section 811 programs are the largest and longest standing programs targeted specifically to the needs of disabled persons. Section 202 was created in 1959 to house low income elderly persons aged 62 and older. The program provides low interest loans (and later project-based Section 8 rental assistance contracts) to nonprofit developers seeking to construct housing for families with elderly members. In 1964, handicapped persons were added to the definition of eligible elderly families. Until 1990, Section 202 served the needs of both elderly and disabled populations, although a separate set-aside was established in 1978 to focus specifically on the needs of nonelderly disabled individuals. That set-aside was expanded into the newly-created Section 811 program in 1990 to focus specifically on the needs of nonelderly disabled persons between 18 and 61. The funding mechanism also changed to emphasize capital grants rather than loans. The 2010 Frank Melville Supportive Housing Investment Act changed the manner in which Section 811 project rental assistance contracts (PRAC) could be used. Previously, these subsidies could only be tied to units developed using Section 811 capital grants. With the 2010 changes, PRACs could be used to subsidize multifamily units developed using other sources, including the Low Income Housing Tax Credit, HOME funds, and other sources. Programmatic changes were also implemented to encourage the integration of disabled households into the larger community. After 2010, disabled households living in multifamily units developed using Section 811 could only constitute 25 percent of the total number of units in the building (Perl 2013; Schwartz 2015). Disabled households may also qualify for tenant-based rental assistance. Under the Section 811 program, “mainstream” vouchers were created in 1992 to serve the needs of disabled households seeking housing in the private market. The funding for the mainstream voucher program was eventually absorbed by the Section 8 tenant-based voucher program. Beginning in 2005, HUD 1 Although the Moderate Rehabilitation program serves the highest percent of disabled households, this program serves few households compared to other HUD programs, so the total number of disabled persons served is quite small. 4 required voucher-administering agencies to help participants of the program find supportive services and provide assistance to landlords in making reasonable accommodations to serve the needs of disabled mainstream voucher holders. No new vouchers have been issued under this program since 2006. The Section 8 (now Housing Choice Voucher) program also provides tenant-based rental assistance targeted directly to families with a disabled adult in the household. These are often referred to as “designated” vouchers or vouchers for “certain developments.” Beginning with the 2010 Frank Melville Act, all mainstream and designated vouchers were to be made available to other disabled households upon turnover (Devine 2000; Perl 2013; Schwartz 2015). An important policy question of interest is the extent to which disabled households participate in programs specifically targeted to the disabled versus participating in other HUD programs. Since programs targeted to the disabled are often combined with supportive services, physical accommodations, and technical assistance to landlords for accommodating disability needs, participants in targeted HUD programs likely receive more accommodations than other HUD program participants. We address this issue later in the report. Defining Disability Although the HUD definition of disability has varied over time and across program category, our report relies on data from HUD’s most recent administrative records to characterize the disabled population and make comparisons with the characteristics of the larger disabled population living in the U.S. Varying definitions of disability across the two populations make such comparisons challenging. For the population at large, the American Community Survey includes questions about disability status. This report defines disability for the larger population based on the current definition first introduced in 2008. According to the U.S. Census, disabled persons are those exhibiting one or more of the following characteristics (https://www.census.gov/people/disability/methodology/acs.html):  Sensory Disability – Conditions that include blindness, deafness, or a severe vision or hearing impairment.  Physical Disability – Conditions that substantially limit one or more basic physical activities such as walking, climbing stairs, reaching, lifting, or carrying.  Mental Disability – Because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition lasting 6 months or more, the person has difficulty learning, remembering or concentrating.  Self-care Disability – Because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition lasting 6 months or more, the person has difficulty dressing, bathing, or getting around inside the home.  Go-outside-home Disability – Because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition lasting 6 months or more, the person has difficulty going outside the home alone to shop or visit a doctor's office.  Employment Disability – Because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition lasting 6 months or more, the person has difficulty working at a job or business. 5 Most of HUD’s programs, on the other hand, do not distinguish among type of disability, although housing providers are to use the following criteria to identify disabled persons when reporting to HUD’s tenant-level administrative data systems:2  A disability as defined in section 223 of the Social Security Act.  A physical, mental, or emotional impairment, which is expected to be of long-continued and indefinite duration, substantially impedes his or her ability to live independently, and is of such a nature that such ability could be improved by more suitable housing conditions.  A developmental disability as defined in section 102 of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act.  Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) or any condition that arises from the etiologic agent for AIDS. Since disability is often under-reported, we also include in our definition of the disabled HUDassisted population all those who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), a federal income supplement designed to meet the needs of low-income disabled persons. We also present data using two indicators that provide additional information on the appropriateness of accessibility features for a person’s disability needs: (1) public housing residents may request disability features, and HUD’s tenant-level data identify whether these features are requested by and provided to public housing residents; (2) Several multi-family properties are specifically designed to meet the needs of specific types of disabilities experienced by HUD-assisted households. We report information describing both of these conditions to gain a better understanding of the match between disabled household needs and the accessibility characteristics of HUD units. Data and Research Methods Our analyses in this report consist primarily of various descriptive statistics for disabled households both within the U.S. at large and for U.S. households receiving HUD assistance. Where possible, we emphasize comparisons between these two groups. For all households, we present information for the U.S., for each Census region, and for central, outlying, and rural counties.3 Each table primarily presents information for either (1) the number of disabled persons per household, or (2) the number/percent of households containing disabled persons, depending on which is more appropriate. At the end of the report, we also present various 2 The HUD tenant-level data utilized for this project include data reported on the HUD-50058 form (completed by PHAs for each assisted household participating in PHA-administered programs as reported in the Public and Indian Housing Information Center (PIC) data) and HUD-50059 form (completed by private housing providers for assisted households participating in HUD Office of Housing-administered “multifamily” programs as reported in the Tenant Rental Assistance Certification System (TRACS) data). Throughout the report, “central counties” refer to all counties within 2013 Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) that contain the largest portion of the CBSA’s urbanized area; “outlying” counties include all other counties within the CBSA; and “rural” counties include counties outside of 2013 CBSAs. 3 6 measures of the supply and demand for disabled housing units, which we describe in sections to follow. Statistics presented for HUD-assisted households are further disaggregated by program type and PHA size. Data sources for statistics presented to describe disabled households in the U.S. include the most recently available American Community Survey (ACS) 2009-2013 5-year sample and the most recently available HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) sample (20082010 3-year sample and 2006-2010 5-year sample, depending on the availability of the data being examined). The data used to describe HUD-assisted households living in the U.S. are constructed from HUD administrative databases, including HUD’s 2013 longitudinal household and member files (PIC and TRACS) and the Integrated Real Estate Management System (iREMs) multifamily property database. We match the household-level files to iREMS to characterize the units and properties where disabled persons reside. Prevalence of Disabilities in the U.S. and in HUD Programs Research Question: In HUD housing programs and the broader population, what are the prevalence and characteristics of households containing one or more persons with disabilities, by type of disability and geographic unit? We begin with an examination of the prevalence of disability among all U.S. households, using data from the 2009-2013 ACS. Table 1 displays the number of disabled persons per 1000 households by sex and age category. Table 1 and the following tables also display the total number of HUD-assisted units. We present the information for the U.S.; all major Census regions; and for central counties, outlying counties and rural counties. In the U.S. population at large, there are roughly 322 disabled persons per 1000 households.4 The ratio of disabled persons to households varies somewhat by Census region, with the highest number found in the South and the lowest in the Northeast. Comparing central, outlying and rural counties, we find that the ratio is highest in rural areas and lowest in more urban, central counties. Table 1 shows that of the 322 disabled persons per 1000 households, 167 are female and 154 are male. Breaking down the results by age in addition to sex reveals that below age 18, more of the disabled individuals are male rather than female (16 versus 10); for ages 18–64, male and female shares are equal (84 versus 84); and above age 65, a greater share are female (54 males versus 74 females). As before, disabled persons of both sexes are more commonly found among households in the South and in rural areas. Ratios of disabled persons per 1000 households are affected by both the size of the age subgroups and the prevalence of disabilities among individuals of those subgroups. Senior individuals are most likely to have a disability, yet the working-age population (age 18-64) 4 Limitations of the data make it difficult to estimate the proportion of households that contain at least one disabled person without double-counting. Tables 3 and 4 indicate the proportion of households having individuals with specific disabilities. 7 accounts for 168 of the 322 disabled persons per 1000 households. Seniors are next with 128 disabled persons, and children account for a much smaller share, 26 disabled persons. This pattern holds for all geographic areas. For all age groups regardless of sex, the ratio of disabled persons to households is highest in the South and in rural areas, although less variable across regions compared with the household population at large.

Table 2 displays estimates of disabled and non-disabled persons per 1,000 households by age and poverty status. Non-poor households contribute the majority, 249, of the 320 disabled individuals per 1,000 households. Yet disability is more prevalent among the poor: 17.6 percent of individuals in poor households are disabled, compared with only 11.2 percent of individuals in non-poor households. The primary reason that non-poor households contribute most disabled individuals is that non-poor households represent 84.6 percent of the population. In addition, the disabled poor population includes a larger number of elderly disabled persons living in singleperson households. In fact, we find that 51.5 percent of elderly persons in poor households have disabilities, compared with only 35.0 percent of elderly persons in non-poor households. 8 Table 2: Disabled and nondisabled persons per 1000 occupied housing units by age, poverty status, and geography5 Total Total Disabled In Poverty Not In Poverty Total Non-Disabled In Poverty Not In Poverty Total Below Age 18 Total Disabled Below Age 18 In Poverty Not In Poverty Total Non-Disabled Below Age 18 In Poverty Not In Poverty U.S. 2,620 320 71 249 2,300 332 1,968 Northeast M idwest Region Region 2,568 2,505 298 308 64 68 234 240 2,270 2,197 270 297 2,000 1,900 South Region 2,621 348 81 267 2,274 363 1,910 West Region 2,779 304 63 241 2,474 368 2,106 Central counties 2,630 308 68 240 2,322 335 1,987 Outlying Rural counties counties 2,631 2,471 365 434 77 109 289 325 2,266 2,037 290 345 1,975 1,692 629 25 8 17 573 24 7 16 602 25 8 17 639 27 10 18 687 23 7 16 633 25 8 17 643 29 9 20 569 29 11 17 604 549 577 611 665 608 614 541 128 477 97 452 114 463 144 467 139 526 128 480 116 499 140 401 Total Age 18-64 Total Disabled Age 18-64 In Poverty Not In Poverty Total Non-Disabled Age 18-64 In Poverty Not In Poverty 1,640 167 46 121 1,473 189 1,285 1,627 149 41 108 1,478 156 1,323 1,561 161 46 115 1,399 170 1,230 1,631 186 52 133 1,446 202 1,244 1,747 156 41 116 1,591 213 1,378 1,655 160 44 116 1,495 191 1,303 1,618 196 50 146 1,422 160 1,263 1,464 226 70 156 1,238 182 1,056 Total Age 65 And Above Total Disabled Age 65 And Above In Poverty Not In Poverty Total Non-Disabled Age 65 And Above In Poverty Not In Poverty 351 368 342 352 344 343 369 437 128 125 121 135 125 123 140 179 17 111 16 109 14 107 19 116 15 110 16 107 17 123 28 152 223 242 221 217 219 220 229 258 16 206 17 225 14 207 18 199 16 203 16 204 15 214 23 236 4,619 1,240 970 1,488 801 4,179 203 217 Total HUD assisted units (thousands) Source: American Community Survey, 5-year sample, 2009-2013; HUD longitudinal data from TRACS and PIC, 2013, household and member files 5 The totals in this table represent persons for whom poverty information is available and do not precisely match the totals from Table 1. 9 Tables 3 and 4 use CHAS data to examine the number and proportion of households that include persons with specific types of disabilities by tenure status and household income as a percent of HUD-Adjusted Median Family Income (HAMFI). HUD categorizes incomes up to 30 percent of HAMFI as extremely low income, up to 50 percent of HAMFI as very low income, up to 80 percent of HAMFI as low-income, and greater than 80 percent of HAMFI as moderate income or higher. Totals are displayed in Table 3, and percentages of households within each row are displayed in Table 4. Because the total number of households varies for each category, we focus our interpretation on the percentages displayed in Table 4. For each disability type, the prevalence of disability is highest among households with the lowest incomes (Table 4). Generally, the percentage of households with hearing or vision impairments is largest in the South and in rural areas, but some differences emerge when we consider different types of disability. Among all households, the percentage of households with members that experience cognitive and self-care or independent living limitations is highest in the South. Interestingly, the geographic distribution of all types of disabilities varies when we consider renter households only.

CHAS, 5year sample, 2006-2010; HUD longitudinal data from TRACS and PIC, 2013, household and member files Turning now to HUD-assisted households, Table 5 displays the number of disabled persons per 1,000 HUD-assisted units, broken down by sex, age, geographic area, Public Housing Agency (PHA) size, and HUD program type. In contrast to the results for all U.S. households, there are more disabled persons per HUD-assisted household in the West and in central counties. Large PHAs are also likely to serve larger numbers of disabled persons. Interestingly, regional variations fluctuate with the age of disabled household members, with greater ratios of young disabled household members (age <18) found in the South, and greater ratios of working-aged and elderly disabled household members found in the West. We also find greater ratios of working-aged disabled persons in rural counties. There are many more disabled females per 1,000 HUD-assisted households than there are disabled males. This partly reflects the prevalence of female-headed households in the larger population of HUD-assisted households (77 percent of HUD-assisted households, according to the 2013 Picture of Subsidized Households). Ratios of disabled females are greater in outlying counties, particularly among those of working age.

Considering programs not targeted to the needs of the disabled, the prevalence of disabled persons is highest in the Housing Choice Voucher program. Since there are no special accommodations to ensure that these households receive necessary disability accommodations, this is potentially a source of concern. These results generally hold true regardless of the age or sex of disabled persons. Table 6 displays the number of households containing at least one disabled person per 1000 HUD-assisted units by income as a percent of HAMFI. As might be expected, the prevalence of disability is highest for the lowest income households, regardless of geographic location or PHA size. Disabled households with the lowest incomes, which are especially likely to include nonwage sources of income, are most prevalent in Northeastern and rural counties, while those with higher incomes are more prevalent in outlying Western counties and in medium-sized PHAs. Interestingly, while the prevalence of disability in the Section 811 program is higher for higher income households, for all other HUD programs, disabled households are more prevalent among lower income categories. Again, the Housing Choice Voucher program serves a larger proportion of disabled persons than other HUD programs not geared towards the needs of the disabled, regardless of income. 15 Table 6: Number of HUD-assisted households containing at least one disabled person per 1000 HUDassisted units, by household income (as a percent of HAMFI) U.S. Total Household income ≤30% HAM FI Household income <30%, ≤ 50% HAM FI Household income >50%, ≤80% HAM FI Household income ≥80% HAM FI Total HUD assisted units (thousands) Northeast M idwest South West Central Outlying Rural Small M edium Large Region Region Region Region counties counties counties PHAs PHAs PHAs 416.75 433.44 411.34 405.70 457.76 416.25 424.11 431.92 398.02 447.72 472.54 440.63 478.47 436.87 418.57 472.45 440.47 440.25 453.00 449.96 469.59 495.55 368.91 334.00 354.61 388.45 422.30 364.91 395.87 411.02 363.32 433.29 435.16 261.54 222.36 250.52 298.65 305.58 258.45 300.12 287.64 254.76 314.05 287.68 201.83 174.00 199.10 250.84 247.32 197.68 255.71 233.41 195.63 247.37 205.81 4,619 1,240 970 1,488 801 4,179 203 217 60 316 2,854 Sources: HUD longitudinal data from TRACS and PIC, 2013, household and member files Table 6: Number of HUD-assisted households containing at least one disabled person per 1000 HUDassisted units, by household income (as a percent of HAMFI) (continued) Total Household income ≤30% HAM FI Household income <30%, ≤ 50% HAM FI Household income >50%, ≤80% HAM FI Household income ≥80% HAM FI Total HUD assisted units (thousands) Public Housing 412.01 Housing Choice Vouchers: TenantBased and All Other 484.19 Housing Choice Housing Choice Housing Choice Housing Choice Vouchers: Vouchers: Vouchers: Vouchers: "Designated" M ainstream Project-Based Homeownership 980.58 999.55 483.50 484.92 440.21 503.82 982.07 999.44 514.19 643.44 382.38 446.71 975.94 1000.00 392.68 437.59 270.09 304.73 948.07 1000.00 289.44 250.43 204.12 238.48 925.93 1000.00 195.12 224.49 1,072 2,019 43 9 55 10 Sources: HUD longitudinal data from TRACS and PIC, 2013, household and member files 16 Table 6: Number of HUD-assisted households containing at least one disabled person per 1000 HUDassisted units, by household income (as a percent of HAMFI) (continued) Total Household income ≤30% HAM FI Household income <30%, ≤ 50% HAM FI Household income >50%, ≤80% HAM FI Household income ≥80% HAM FI Total HUD assisted units (thousands) All Housing Section 8 Choice Voucher M oderate Programs Rehabilitation 496.39 491.50 Section 202 204.46 M ultifamily Assisted Section Section Programs Breaking Out Section 8 811 236 986.30 255.24 305.85 All M ultifamily Programs 295.02 517.03 502.03 233.06 986.26 277.97 324.26 318.55 456.52 408.76 143.35 986.96 216.08 257.98 236.34 309.43 234.50 142.62 981.57 125.61 182.02 171.64 242.12 277.78 148.33 1,000.00 76.74 118.69 110.18 2,136 34 1640 911 1,377 271 31 Sources: HUD longitudinal data from TRACS and PIC, 2013, household and member files Availability of Assisted HUD Units in Relation to Need Research Question: What is the availability of assisted units that the public housing authority or owner/managing agent has designated as accessible, in relation to the need at different geographic levels? Table 7 presents various statistics for those participating in the public housing program. Within this program, the number of disabled persons per 1000 public housing units is highest in central Northeastern counties managed by large PHAs. Roughly 41 percent of public housing units contain at least one disabled person, and this percentage varies little across geographic area. The third row from the bottom presents the percentage of households with at least one disabled person which requested disability features and ultimately received them in their public housing unit. Only 30 percent of households with at least one disabled person requesting such amenities actually received them. This percentage is highest in the West, where 77 percent of those requesting disability features received them, and lowest in the South, where only 11 percent of those requesting disability features received them. Central counties and large PHAs are the most successful in matching disabled households with their requested accommodations. Looking at the second to last row in Table 7, we find that a surprisingly low percentage (3 percent) of disabled households living in public housing were actually reported as receiving units with accessibility features, regardless of whether accessible units were requested. The highest percentages are in outlying Western counties and in large PHAs. 17 Table 7: Summary statistics, among HUD-assisted households in public housing U.S. Number of disabled persons per 1000 public housing households Percent of households with at least one disabled person Percent of households, among those which requested disability features, with at least one disabled person Percent of households, among those which received disability features, with at least one disabled person Percent of households, among those 1) with at least one disabled person and 2) which requested disability features, which ultimately received them Percent of households, among those 1) with no disabled persons and 2) which requested disability features, which ultimately received them Percent of households, among those with at least one disabled person, which received housing units with disability features Total HUD-assisted, public housing units (thousands) Northeast M idwest South West Central Outlying Rural Small M edium Large Region Region Region Region counties counties counties PHAs PHAs PHAs 449 496 459 436 482 455 417 407 385 422 458 41.2 44.1 43.4 40.7 44.3 41.6 39.2 38.4 36.4 39.8 41.8 43.6 61.0 48.3 37.8 71.8 45.5 37.2 35.7 38.8 36.6 46.9 60.3 63.0 61.6 61.7 92.1 60.9 50.5 59.3 70.3 52.9 61.3 30.3 53.8 39.5 11.4 76.6 33.4 17.1 14.5 24.8 17.1 35.2 15.4 49.4 23.0 4.3 16.8 17.9 9.9 5.5 6.7 8.8 19.7 3.4 3.8 2.2 2.2 6.5 3.4 3.6 2.4 2.6 3.0 3.5 1,072 361 199 370 86 944 48 75 47 160 854 Sources: HUD longitudinal data from TRACS and PIC, 2013, household and member files Table 8 present various statistics for those participating in HUD’s multifamily programs. Since HUD multifamily program participants were not asked whether they have requested disability features, we do not present this information, but we do present the percent of households residing in properties with units designated for the disabled, by multifamily program. In contrast to the public housing program, we find greater ratios of disabled multifamily program participants per 1,000 units in Midwestern and rural counties. Ratios of disabled persons are greater in units designated for the chronically mentally ill and less in units designated for the elderly and disabled. Breaking multifamily programs down by various HUD program categories, we find that the average size of the disabled population is highest among multifamily assisted programs specifically designed to serve the needs of the disabled. The Section 811 program serves the largest number of disabled persons per unit. Approximately 99 percent of those participating in the Section 811 program live in households with at least one disabled person. In the Section 202 and 811 programs, the largest shares of households living in properties with units designated exclusively for the disabled are indeed disabled, while in other multifamily assisted programs, properties with units designated for the chronically mentally ill house the largest share of households with at least one disabled person. 18 Table 8: Multifamily housing statistics U.S. Number of disabled persons per 1000 multifamily units Percent of multifamily households with at least one disabled person Northeast M idwest South West Central Outlying Rural Small M edium Large Region Region Region Region counties counties counties PHAs PHAs PHAs 303 310 329 302 267 297 334 380 1000 221 316 30 30 32 30 26 29 33 37 100 22 31 Percent of households with at least one disabled person, among those residing in multifamily housing units designed for… the elderly and disabled 36 31 41 40 32 35 41 46 the disabled exclusively the chronically mentally ill the physically disabled the developmentally disabled persons with HIV 87 75 85 94 90 87 91 91 53 96 98 97 94 98 96 94 98 75 70 53 72 68 93 69 90 65 75 91 82 99 90 97 92 98 83 50 86 100 98 70 94 86 1,298 324 355 404 192 1,169 Total HUD-assisted, multifamily units (thousands) 100 7 58 50 62 65 0 0 3 Sources: HUD longitudinal data from TRACS and PIC, 2013, household and member files; iREM s database Table 8: Multifamily housing statistics (continued) Number of disabled persons per 1000 multifamily units Section 202 Section 811 Section 236 219 999 264 313 314 22 99 26 31 31 Percent of multifamily households with at least one disabled person Percent of households with at the elderly and disabled the disabled exclusively the chronically mentally ill the physically disabled the developmentally disabled persons with HIV Total HUD-assisted, multifamily units (thousands) M ultifamily assisted programs breaking out Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers: Project-Based least one disabled person, among those residing in multifamily housing units designed for… 26 98 42 39 56 90 99 30 66 53 85 98 34 98 79 242 83 75 45 75 99 75 50 97 48 50 870 4 25 44 157 Sources: HUD longitudinal data from TRACS and PIC, 2013, household and member files; iREM s database 19 Supply of and Demand for Accessible Assisted Units Table 9 presents various indicators of the supply and demand for accessible HUD-assisted units. Within the tenant-based voucher, multifamily, and public housing programs, we present the percent of disabled HUD-assistance recipients that live in units specifically designated for the disabled by geography to identify the extent to which the needs of the disabled population are being met in these HUD programs.6 The bottom rows display, by income, the total and percent of households with at least one disabled person, the total and percent of households with at least one disabled person minus those receiving HUD assistance, and the percent of the disabled population not receiving HUD assistance. These rows are further provided for two groups: the first for all households, and the second for all rental households. The final row gives an estimate of the percent of households with disabled persons who would qualify for HUD assistance based on income alone but who do not receive any HUD assistance. We find that in the tenant-based voucher program, less than five percent of disabled households receive assistance from a tenant-based program specifically targeted to the needs of the disabled. This percentage varies little by geography. This is a source of concern, because such vouchers do not come with supportive services or other accommodations to meet the needs of the disabled population. Furthermore, upon turnover, these vouchers may not be made available to other disabled households. In public housing, the percentage is somewhat higher, but still quite low (8 percent). In Western counties, more than 10 percent of disabled persons live in public housing units with accessibility features. The multifamily program has the highest percent of disabled households living in properties with units designated for the disabled (48 percent). This percentage is highest in the Midwest and in rural counties. Turning to the bottom rows in Table 9, we find that a substantial percentage of the disabled population does not receive HUD assistance. Even among those with extremely low incomes (<30% of HAMFI), more than 70 percent of all households and 50 percent of all renting households in particular do not receive HUD assistance. For both groups, this percentage is highest in outlying counties and within the South. 6 These percentages refer to the proportion (prevalence) living in designated units for given level of geography and not the share of such households found in each geography. 20 Table 9: Summary of supply and demand for affordable housing among disabled households Total HUD assisted households with at least one disabled person (1000s) ≤ 30% HAM FI By > 30%, ≤ 50% HAM FI relative > 50%, ≤ 80% HAM FI income > 80% HAM FI 1,916 534 399 603 366 1,739 86 90 1,518 339 53 6 436 80 15 3 316 73 9 1 458 123 20 2 299 59 8 1 1,390 298 47 5 66 17 2 0 62 24 4 1 4,856 6,197 10,841 5,666 22,851 1,834 1,287 1,147 810 858 2,041 1,108 997 1,207 2,887 1,874 1,761 2,024 5,182 996 855 1,042 2,774 4,318 3,596 4,191 10,746 306 297 354 878 217 231 260 579 24.1 23.2 23.9 25.7 22.5 23.2 26.4 33.6 35.8 33.2 27.3 19.0 38.4 32.7 26.6 16.7 36.4 33.9 27.2 18.6 36.5 35.6 29.4 20.6 31.5 28.9 24.6 18.7 34.6 31.7 26.1 18.3 40.2 37.7 30.5 20.7 47.4 45.9 37.8 26.5 Total households with at least one disabled person (minus disabled households receiving HUD assistance) (1000s) 25,644 4,322 5,798 10,238 5,299 21,112 1,748 1,197 ≤ 30% HAM FI > 30%, ≤ 50% HAM FI > 50%, ≤ 80% HAM FI > 80% HAM FI 3,605 4,084 5,077 12,877 710 730 843 2,039 792 923 1,197 2,886 1,415 1,639 2,004 5,180 696 796 1,034 2,773 2,928 3,299 4,144 10,741 240 280 351 877 155 208 255 579 22.4 20.7 22.3 24.3 21.0 21.4 25.1 31.2 25.2 30.7 27.0 19.0 23.8 29.5 26.2 16.7 26.0 31.4 27.0 18.6 27.6 33.2 29.1 20.6 22.1 26.9 24.4 18.7 23.5 29.0 25.8 18.3 31.5 35.5 30.3 20.6 33.9 41.2 37.2 26.5 93.0 89.0 93.6 94.4 93.5 92.4 95.3 93.0 70.4 92.3 99.0 100.0 62.0 90.1 98.3 99.9 71.5 92.6 99.2 100.0 75.5 93.0 99.0 100.0 69.9 93.1 99.3 100.0 67.8 91.7 98.9 100.0 78.4 94.2 99.3 100.0 71.6 89.8 98.3 99.9 Tenure: All owner- and renter-occupied households Total households with at least one disabled 27,560 person (1000s) ≤ 30% HAM FI 5,123 By > 30%, ≤ 50% HAM FI 4,423 relative > 50%, ≤ 80% HAM FI 5,131 income > 80% HAM FI 12,883 Percent of total households with at least one disabled person ≤ 30% HAM FI By > 30%, ≤ 50% HAM FI relative > 50%, ≤ 80% HAM FI income > 80% HAM FI By relative income Percent of total households with at least one disabled person (minus disabled households receiving HUD assistance) ≤ 30% HAM FI By > 30%, ≤ 50% HAM FI relative > 50%, ≤ 80% HAM FI income > 80% HAM FI Percent of disabled households not receiving HUD assistance ≤ 30% HAM FI By > 30%, ≤ 50% HAM FI relative > 50%, ≤ 80% HAM FI income > 80% HAM FI 21 Table 9: Summary of supply and demand for affordable housing among disabled households (continued) U.S. Tenure: Renter-occupied households only Total renting households with at least one disabled person (1000s) ≤ 30% HAM FI By > 30%, ≤ 50% HAM FI relative > 50%, ≤ 80% HAM FI income > 80% HAM FI Northeast M idwest South Region Region Region West Central Outlying Rural Region counties counties counties 8,717 1,827 1,891 3,067 1,932 7,536 467 318 3,233 1,937 1,592 1,955 816 388 290 332 715 442 354 380 1,046 694 582 745 655 413 366 497 2,824 1,646 1,366 1,701 163 109 90 105 108 81 61 67 22.9 24.2 24.9 22.9 20.1 22.0 27.0 34.4 34.0 28.1 20.3 14.1 38.3 29.2 20.7 12.4 35.3 30.4 21.5 15.5 33.1 28.8 20.9 14.7 30.0 24.2 18.2 13.5 33.1 26.9 19.4 13.5 38.4 32.9 24.2 17.4 46.2 42.5 31.2 22.3 Total renting households with at least one disabled person (minus disabled households receiving HUD assistance) (1000s) 6,801 1,293 1,492 2,464 1,566 5,797 381 228 ≤ 30% HAM FI > 30%, ≤ 50% HAM FI > 50%, ≤ 80% HAM FI > 80% HAM FI 1,715 1,599 1,539 1,949 380 308 275 330 399 369 345 380 588 571 562 743 356 354 359 497 1,434 1,349 1,319 1,695 97 92 87 104 47 58 57 67 Percent of total renting households with at least one disabled person (minus disabled households receiving HUD assistance) 17.8 17.1 19.7 18.4 16.3 16.9 22.0 24.7 ≤ 30% HAM FI > 30%, ≤ 50% HAM FI > 50%, ≤ 80% HAM FI > 80% HAM FI 18.1 23.2 19.6 14.0 17.9 23.2 19.6 12.3 19.7 25.4 20.9 15.4 18.6 23.7 20.2 14.7 16.3 20.8 17.8 13.4 16.8 22.0 18.7 13.5 22.9 27.7 23.5 17.4 19.9 30.2 29.0 22.1 78.0 70.8 78.9 80.3 81.0 76.9 81.6 71.7 53.1 82.5 96.6 99.7 46.6 79.3 94.8 99.2 55.8 83.4 97.4 99.8 56.2 82.3 96.5 99.7 54.3 85.8 97.9 99.9 50.8 81.9 96.6 99.7 59.5 84.3 97.3 99.7 43.1 71.1 93.0 99.1 Percent of total renting households with at least one disabled person ≤ 30% HAM FI By > 30%, ≤ 50% HAM FI relative > 50%, ≤ 80% HAM FI income > 80% HAM FI By relative income By relative income Percent of disabled, renting households not receiving HUD assistance ≤ 30% HAM FI By > 30%, ≤ 50% HAM FI relative > 50%, ≤ 80% HAM FI income > 80% HAM FI Sources: Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) dataset, 3-year sample, 2008-2010;

Generally, the percent of disabled voucher recipients receiving vouchers designated for the disabled is higher in counties with lower poverty rates and higher median rents. The same is true for the multifamily assisted program, although counties with moderate median rents house the highest percent of disabled persons living in facilities designed for the disabled. The relationship is strongest for the public housing program. For these residents, counties with high poverty rates, low median rents, and low median incomes house the highest percent of those living in units designated for the disabled. Turning to the section of Table 10 inventorying the unassisted population among all households, we find that, among those with the lowest income, counties with lower median rents and income tend to house a larger population of potentially eligible disabled persons that do not receive HUD assistance.

We conclude with a discussion of several policy implications of these findings, focusing on specific policy questions addressed by our analyses. Which HUD programs serve the largest number of disabled households by the age and sex of disabled household members? The number of disabled persons per HUD-assisted housing unit is largest among the workingage population (age 18-64), regardless of the sex of disabled persons. We find that HUD programs serve a larger number of female disabled adults than males, likely due in part to the prevalence of female-headed households in the population of HUD-assisted households. Below age 18, however, greater numbers of disabled males than disabled females are found per unit. Comparing these outcomes across program types, we find that the number of disabled persons per HUD-assisted housing unit is greatest in the mainstream voucher program, which is somewhat expected given that this program is specifically targeted to households with disabled persons. With the exception of the Section 811 program, most HUD programs serve a lower income population. Considering programs not specifically targeted to the needs of the disabled, the prevalence of disabled persons is highest in the tenant-based voucher program. Among disabled persons receiving tenant-based voucher assistance, less than five percent of disabled households receive assistance from a tenant-based program specifically targeted to the needs of the disabled. By comparison, 48 percent of disabled persons participating in the multifamily program live in properties with units designated for the disabled. This is a source of policy concern, because such non-designated vouchers do not come with supportive services or other accommodations to meet the needs of the disabled population. Furthermore, upon turnover, these vouchers may not be made available for other disabled households. Which types of geographic areas are most successful in serving the needs of disabled HUDassisted households? HUD-assisted disabled households are more prevalent in the West and in central counties, but these results vary with the age of disabled persons. Greater numbers of disabled individuals of all age groups are found per 1,000 assisted units in the South. We also find that these ratios are greater for working-aged female disabled persons in outlying suburban counties, for disabled children and elderly persons in the South, and for working-aged disabled persons in the West. We find that the percent of disabled HUD-assisted households living in units designated for the disabled varies little by geography with a few exceptions. In the public housing program, Western counties accommodate the highest share of disabled households in designated units, and in the multifamily program, rural Midwestern counties accommodate the highest percentage. If we consider those in the public housing program that have requested disability amenities, only 30 percent of those requesting such amenities actually received them. This percentage is highest in the West, where 77 percent of those requesting disability features received them, and lowest in 26 the South, where only 11 percent of those requesting disability features received them. Central counties are also more successful in matching disabled households with their requested accommodations. We also find that in the public housing program particularly, counties with high poverty rates, low median rents, and low median incomes house the highest percent of disabled households living in units designated for the disabled. We find that a substantial percentage of potentially-eligible disabled U.S. households do not receive HUD assistance. Even among those with extremely low incomes (<30% of AMI), more than 70 percent of total households and more than 50 percent of renting households do not receive HUD assistance. This percentage is highest in outlying counties within the South and in counties with lower rents and, for total households, median incomes. These findings point to a need for more community outreach to identify potentially-eligible and interested disabled households for HUD’s disability assistance programs. Devine (2000) conducted an informal survey of 25 PHAs to identify how disabled households were recruited for participation in HUD’s mainstream voucher program and found that more than half added disabled persons to waiting lists following community outreach to local advocacy groups and other public and private agencies. Our results point to the need for more targeting of such efforts, particularly within suburban counties in the South. Which types of PHAs are most successful in serving the needs of disabled HUD-assisted households? We find that larger PHAs generally serve a larger number of disabled persons. Large PHAs are also generally more successful in accommodating disabled households within accessible units than smaller PHAs. There is one exception to these overall trends: medium-sized PHAs serve a larger population of working-aged disabled males. Future research should determine why large PHAs are more successful in accommodating disabled households within accessible units, particularly disabled households earning lower incomes. Larger PHAs may operate more efficiently due to economies of scale, may be better staffed, and may have more resources to address the needs of special needs populations. Alternatively, other confounding factors may be driving the results for large PHAs, such as disabled people being more predominantly located in areas with larger PHAs. PHAs in larger cities may also have admissions preferences that favor disabled persons of a particular sex or age group. Finally, as suggested by Devine’s (2000) analysis of a sample of PHAs administering the mainstream voucher program, larger PHAs may be more capable of actively seeking out special needs households through various community outreach efforts. How should HUD data resources be revised to address future questions pertaining to disability? We conclude with a discussion of proposed changes to HUD’s administrative datasets that would facilitate future analyses of HUD-assisted disabled households. First, information on disabled households is often provided in more than one database, raising the potential for conflicting information about the program or location where the household resides, even after controlling for the “effective date” of a household action. Future assessments, using pooled datasets scanned for consistency, would better allow researchers to unambiguously identify a household’s program and geography at a given point in time. 27 Second, the definition of disability and disability program status are not clearly and consistently identified in HUD’s data resources. Both PIC and TRACS include a single variable identifying disability for HUD program participants, but the information does not contain type of disability, making it impossible to determine if HUD households are living in units appropriate for their disability. Only public housing residents are asked to identify whether an accessible unit was requested and received. This information should be provided for all HUD program participants, and an additional question should be added such as, “Does the requested accessible unit provide all necessary accommodations appropriate to the disabled household member(s) needs?” Furthermore, the information for disability program status was made available in several separate variables (see Appendix A). We recommend that a single variable be created to make it easier to identify any and all disability programs for which HUD-assisted households qualify. If additional supportive services are provided, these should be identified as well. Third, we note several instances of missing data and potential measurement error in key variables used to analyze disability. For example, roughly 15 percent of public housing observations did not have information on whether accessibility features were provided. In some instances, high values for age were observed (with more than 1,700 observations being over 100, and more than 2 dozen over 120), several of which were seemingly unrealistic. This generally coincided with erroneous information on birth dates. Finally, in this analysis we had to combine both the 5-year (2006-2010) and 3-year (2008-2010) CHAS files to determine the total number of disabled households within each income group, because both the total number of households and total number of disabled households within each income group was not available in each sample. Future CHAS products should make such comparisons feasible for each CHAS sample provided. 28 References Devine, Deborah. 2000.

Explanation of data products and variable codebook The first part of this document, Appendix A, provides a detailed explanation of the process associated with generating the data products and the variables contained therein. A codebook listing the variable and their definitions for each file can be found in the second part of this document in Appendix B. While the information in these two sections overlap to a large extent, the first section offers additional details beyond particular calculations, and more specifically outlines the assumptions made by the researchers, as well as any additional comments and caveats. Appendix A. Explanation of data products Data products derived from public summary files The following data products, A)-D), were calculated at the national, state, county, and place level (using FIPS codes for the latter three),7 using publicly available data from the Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Note that all output covers only the 50 states and the District of Columbia (thereby ignoring other regions with FIPS codes, such as Puerto Rico). Product D) additionally reports variables at the level of PHA and multifamily Project. A) Number of disabled persons by sex and age (< 5, 5-17, 18-34, 35-64, 65-74, 75+), and ratio of number of disabled persons by sex and age to the number of occupied housing units. Source: 2009-2013 5-year ACS estimates (Tables B18101 for disability status and B25002 for occupied housing units) Files: “sex by age by disability, ACS 2009-2013 (total count).xlsx” and “sex by age by disability, ACS 2009-2013 (per occupied housing unit).xlsx” Geographies are distinguished by worksheet, within each file. Variable names are primarily self-explanatory, and make use of the following acronyms: o Dis: disabled o POHU: per occupied housing unit B) Ratio of number of disabled persons by age (<18, 18-64, and 65+) and poverty status to number of occupied housing units. Source: 2009-2013 5-year ACS estimates (Table C18130 for disability / poverty status and B25002 for occupied housing units). A “Census designated place” (CDP), or “place” for short, is defined by the Census as a concentration of population identified for statistical classifications purposes. They are delineated for each decennial census as the statistical counterparts of incorporated places, such as counties, towns, and villages. CDPs are not jurisdictions per se; however, their geography tends to be similar to the places incorporated within. 7 30 File: “age by disability by poverty, ACS 2009-2013 (per occupied housing unit).xls” Geographies are distinguished by worksheet. Variable names are primarily selfexplanatory, and make use of the following acronyms: o Dis: disabled o Pov/NoPov: count for households that are in poverty/not in poverty o POHU: per occupied housing unit Products A) and B) were obtained directly from queries made on Dataferret. Unfortunately, the age category breakdowns available for B) are less detailed in the 5year estimates for ACS (in the case of disability/poverty status, only the “C” Table is available for download, rather than the alternative, more detailed “B” Table). C) Number of households containing at least one disabled person by type of disability, tenure status, and household income (as a percent of HAMFI). Source: 2008-2010 CHAS (obtained using the CHAS Data Query tool on huduser.org). File: “CHAS data, 2008-2010.xls” For this data product, the variable names already provided by CHAS were used. They are identified in the subsequent worksheet, labeled “variable key.” D) Total unit count, total occupied, percent occupied, number reported, and percent (among those occupied) reported. Source: A Picture of Subsidized Housing (POSH), 2013 File: “POSH unit totals by program.xlsx” Nine program categories are used in this file, and are determined using the “program” and “sub-program” variables from POSH (which is available only in the Project level file, which is then aggregated for other levels of geography), as follows: 1) Public housing: program equals 2 2) Section 8 certificates and vouchers: program equals 3 3) Section 8 mod rehab: program equals 4 4) Multifamily, Section 202: sub-program equals 2 or 3 5) Multifamily, Section 236: sub-program equals 4 6) Multifamily, Section 811: program equals 4, (i.e., sub-program equals 5 or 6) 7) Multifamily, programs breaking out Section 8: sub-program equals 1 8) Multifamily, all other: sub-program equals 7, 8, 9, 10, or 11 9) All programs combined: no qualifiers Note that POSH provides information on the number of total units and the percent reported, from which it is possible to estimate, as done here, the number of occupied units. However, in the event of a low occupied unit count, the percent occupied is not 31 reported. By extension, this inhibits the percent reported, among those occupied, from also being reported (since the denominator is missing, in such cases). For this reason, in addition to the four variables, two flag variables, Flag_OccupiedMissingObs and Flag_NumReportedMissingObs, are reported. The former indicates whether the project level observation – for the Project level sheet – or at least one project level observation used to aggregate the value listed in the row for higher levels of aggregation was missing information on the percent of occupied units; the latter reports this for in a similar manner for the number reported variable, when information for it was missing for either a row directly in the Project worksheet or at least one of the projects used to calculate estimates for higher levels of aggregation. Thus, when a flag for either is reported, it is important that the estimate of total occupied and percent occupied (for the former flag), and number reported (for the second flag) be interpreted as a lower bound. When the second flag only is reported, the percent reported may be interpreted as an upper bound. However, when both flags are reported for a row, it is difficult to interpret the percent reported, since both the numerator and denominator comprising the estimate are underestimated. Note also that, for the PHA worksheet, unit counts for the multifamily programs are not provided. This is because PHAs do not oversee multifamily programs. Data products derived from HUD administrative data Before discussing the subsequent data products, the following several measures that were taken, in preparing the data for aggregation, should be noted.  Any rows in the data indicating the households removal from a program, i.e., with an entry for actn_type_cd of "6","MO", or "TM", was dropped from our analysis  Beginning with the longitudinal file (“index_hshld_longitudinal_2013”), it was recognized that many observations had duplicate entries in the data. These were primarily managed by using information about the most recent effective date (efctv_dt). In the event of duplicates entries with identical entries for efctv_dt, however, the following process was employed. o Households were then compared the the date provided from the variable admsn_dt. The entry with the more recent admission date was used, when a discrepancy existed. o In the event of identical dates for admsn_dt as well, it was observed that virtually all households with duplicates entries were listed in more than one system (the Public and Indian Housing Information Center, or PIC [form 50058, and/or form 50058 MTW], or TRACS), and that one of the entries had listed as being part of a tenantbased or project-based housing choice voucher program (based on how participation in such is defined in Table 1A of this document). These HCV entries for each household were given priority. o Less than a dozen households remain with duplicate entries, following this procedure. Most of these share identical geographic and income information, and are thus of no concern. Four households remained, which contained conflicting geographic information. In the absence of further information, one of the two locations was 32 arbitrarily chosen, since no other information was available to indicate which should take priority.  Households are then classified into one of eleven HUD program categories (public housing; Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) – tenant based/all other; HCV – “designated”; HCV – mainstream; HCV – homeownership; HCV – project-based; Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation; multifamily assisted programs breaking out Section 8, Section 202/811, and Section 236). For details on this procedure, see Table 1A. In addition, they are separately included in a category for all HUD programs combined. Programs for HCV and multifamily are also combined together, in separate categories.  Households are furthermore classified into one of four income categories: o Extremely low income (L30): where total_annl_incm_amnt ≤ ext_low_inc_lmt_amnt, or ext_low_inc_lmt_indr equals “Y” o Very low income (L50): where ext_low_inc_lmt_amnt < total_annl_incm_amnt ≤ very_low_inc_lmt_amnt, or (very_low_inc_lmt_indr equals “Y” and ext_low_inc_lmt_indr does not equal “Y”) (note that this category excludes L30 households) o Low income (L80): where very_low_inc_lmt_amnt < total_annl_incm_amnt ≤ low_inc_lmt_amnt (note that this category excludes L50 and L30 households) o Non-low income (all other): where total_annl_incm_amnt > low_inc_lmt_amnt  In the event that no information is provided on either income or income category thresholds that apply to a household, they are excluded from this part of the analysis (note that these were not a major concern, as they comprise less than one percent of the total sample)  The following methods were used to identify particular attributes of each household: o Whether disability features were requested: acsblty_rqstd_indr equals “Y” or acsblty_rcvd_indr equaled “1” through “6” (i.e., neither contains an empty value, nor equals “0”) o Whether disability features were obtained: acsblty_rcvd_indr equals “1” or “2” o Whether a household’s unit was designated as accessible: acsbl_unit_indr equals “Y” o Whether the accessibility designation is known: acsbl_unit_indr equals “Y” or “N” (i.e., not empty) 33  Disability status: households were identified as disabled by one of the following three methods: o Using the member file (index_member_longitudinal_2013), if a member of the household had a disability indicator (mbr_dsblty_indr) of “Y” or “y” o In the event no disabled were reported in the aforementioned file, households were alternatively labeled as disabled* by one of the following methods:  Using the disabled indicator from the “mf_member_special_status_code” file, households were denoted as disabled if “H” was reported under SPECIAL_STATUS_CD  Matching households to the file “mf_property_id_imparement”, a household was labeled as disabled if they had an indicator of “Y” for any of the following three variables: MOBILITY_IMPARED_IND, HEARING_IMPRD_IND, VISUALLY_IMPRD_IND o Lastly, when merged with the “ssi_households” file, if the family is recorded as 1) receiving a nonzero amount of SSI, and 2) not having anyone in the household age 65+ (since disability is not a prerequisite for members of this group to receive SSI) *For these households, we cannot calculate just how many members within a household are disabled, let alone their age and gender. As a conservative measure, we assume that only one disabled member resides in each of these households. Any aggregated tabulations, therefore, concerned with the total disabled count per region ought to be regarded as a lower bound estimate. Tabulations concerning the sex and age of disabled household members will not include these households, since there is no information to identify the age and sex of the disabled household member(s).  When collapsing the data to various geographic levels, the following information from the longitudinal file (i.e., index_hshld_longitudinal_2013) is used to classify a household’s geography: o State: unit_fips_state_cd o County: unit_fips_state_cd and unit_fips_cnty_cd o Place: unit_fips_state_cd and unit_place_cd o PHA: pha_cd o Project: for observations from TRACS, proj_num; for observations from PIC, dvlpt_num The variables used to identify geography in the data products are hhNation, hhState, hhCounty, hhPlace, hhPHA, hhProj. It should also be noted that many variables generated using the HUD longitudinal data are bottom-coded, in the event that few households are counted for a particular statistic within a specified geography and program. In general, entries are bottom-coded with a value of -1 in the 34 event that the number (or, in the event of it being a fraction or percent, the value of either the numerator or denominator) is less than 10. Details concerning which variables are subject to bottom-coding, and how bottom-coding was determined in such cases, are provided in the codebook (Appendix B). The following products were calculated at the following levels, using HUD administrative data: national, state, county, place, PHA, and housing project: E) Number of disabled household members per HUD-assisted unit by sex and age (< 5, 517, 18-34, 35-64, 65-74, 75+, and all age categories). Files: “disabled household count by sex by age.xlsx” The age categories are constructed so as to be consistent with those reported in the ACS. The age and gender of each household member is determined directly from the “index_member_longitudinal” file (which is merged with the previously discussed household data), using the “mbr_age_yr_cnt” and “male” variables. Note that some observations were reported with erroneous, or seemingly erroneous, information; over 1700 observations have a reported age of 100+, and 26 observations of 120+. Albeit an arbitrary threshold, for the sake of establishing a boundary, we cap the age 75+ category at the age of 110. o First, binary variables are created which classify whether a household member falls into a particular sex-age-disabled category (e.g., male, age 18-34, disabled). o Second, this information is aggregated to the household level, by taking the summation for each indicator by household id, giving us a household level total of disabled persons for each sex-age-disability cohort. o The dataset is then collapsed to the household level. o For each geographic level, households are then aggregated by taking the summation of household totals for each group. This value, for each cohort, is then divided by the summation of total HUD-assisted units, which is calculated as the summation of all households within our longitudinal file that are identified with that particular level of geography. The acronym PAU for each variable is used to refer to “per assisted unit”. F) Number of households containing at least one disabled person by household income (as a percent of HAMFI). Files: “disabled household count by household income.xlsx” The aggregation process is conducted in a manner very analogous to E), with a few notable exceptions. First the number of disabled persons was not counted; instead, a binary indicator was simply used to denote if a household had at least one disabled member. These binary values were then aggregated to produce a total household count for each geographic level. Second, instead of calculating the summations for each geographic level by sex-age-disabled cohort, the disabled households are each separated into four income categories (L30, L50, L80, and non-low income). The values in this file are reported in terms of both total count and, as with E), per-assisted unit. 35 Note: All statistics to be henceforth discussed have their variable names noted in parentheses at the end of each heading. Public Housing Statistics File: “disability characteristics of public housing residents.xlsx” For public housing statistics, G)-K), the sample is filtered to include only households for which the variable “pgm_type_cd” equals “P”. G) Number of disabled persons per public housing household (totDisabledPerPHHH) The summation of disabled individuals contained in all public housing households, divided by the total number of public housing households counted for that particular geography. H) Number of public housing households with at least one disabled person (totalDisabledHHs) The sum of public housing households with at least one disabled person. I) Percent of public housing households with at least one disabled person (pctTotalDisabledHHs) The value from H), times 100, divided by the total number of HUD-assisted units counted at each level of geography. J) Number of public housing households requesting disability features by disability status (reqstdAccssbltFtrs_Dis, reqstdAccssbltFtrs_NoDis) Calculated by tallying the total number of households for which either 1) acsblty_rqstd_indr equals “Y” or 2) acsblty_rcvd_indr equals “1” through “6” (i.e., does not equal 0, nor is blank). This is calculated separately for households with and without 1 or more disabled persons in the household. K) Percent of public housing households requesting disability features which have at least one disabled person (pctReqstdAccssbltFtrs_Dis) The value from J) for reqstdAccssbltFtrs_Dis, times 100, divided by the sum of reqstdAccssbltFtrs_Dis and reqstdAccssbltFtrs_NoDis. L) Number of public housing households receiving disability features by disability status (recvdAccssbltFtrs_Dis, recvdAccssbltFtrs_NoDis) Similar procedure to J): this time, tallying only disabled and nondisabled households for which acsblty_rcvd_indr equals “1” or “2” (i.e., the household fully [“1”] or partially [“2”] received accessibility features that were requested) M) Percent of public housing households receiving disability features which have at least one disabled person (pctRecvdAccssbltFtrs_Dis) The value from L) for recvdAccssbltFtrs_Dis, times 100, divided by the sum of recvdAccssbltFtrs_Dis and recvdAccssbltFtrs_NoDis. 36 N) Number of public housing households requesting accessibility features, which ultimately received them, by disability status (reqstdAndRecvd_Dis, reqstdAndRecvd_NoDis) For disabled and non-disabled groups separately, the number of households which both requested and received accessibility features. O) Percent of public housing households requesting accessibility features, which ultimately received them, by disability status (pctReqstdAndRecvd_Dis, pctRreqstdAndRecvd_NoDis) The first is equal to reqstdAndRecvd_Dis, times 100, divided by reqstdAccssbltFtrs_Dis. The second is equal to reqstdAndRecvd_NoDis, times 100, divided by reqstdAccssbltFtrs_NoDis. P) Percent of public housing households with at least one disabled person receiving housing units with disability features (pctDisHHsWithAccssbltyFtrs) The value from recvdAccssbltFtrs_Dis, times 100, divided by the total number of disabled public housing households (totalDisabledHHs) counted for that geography. Multifamily Assisted Program Statistics File: “disability characteristics of multifamily residents.xlsx” As the next calculations, L)-O), all pertain to multifamily assisted tenants, the sample is filtered to households designated, following the procedure outlined in Table 1A, for the following categories: Section 202, Section 811, Section 236, multifamily programs breaking out Section 8, and “all other”. Q) Number of disabled persons per multifamily unit (totDisabledPerUnit) Similar procedure to that of G), this time using the universe of multifamily – rather than public housing - households. The unit count is determined directly for all geographic levels except for the PHA and Project level using Data directly from the POSH database. The total unit count is aggregated for each geography for program categories “Section 8 New Construction or Substantial Rehabilitation (including 202/8 projects)”, “Section 236 Projects (FHAFederal Housing Administration)”, and “All other multifamily assisted projects with FHA insurance or HUD subsidy (including Section 8 Loan Management, Rental Assistance Program (RAP), Rent Supplement (SUP), Property Disposition, Section 202/811 capital advance, and Preservation”. The total unit counts for PHA and project level results are alternatively calculated using the information within the longitudinal data, using a method similar to that outlined for counting the number of project level public housing units. Instead of using dvlpt_num and dvlpmnt_acc_unit_cnt. However, the variables cntrt_num and cntrt_asstd_unit_cnt are used, which are specific to each multifamily contract. In the case of PHA level estimates, however, not every household within a particular multifamily unit always belonged to the same PHA. A threshold was employed, therefore, whereby a PHA’s unit count only included a multifamily unit if more 37 than 10 percent of the households listed under for a given entry for cntrt_num were listed with the PHA. R) Number of households living in multifamily properties with at least one disabled person (totalDisabledHHs) The sum of multifamily households with at least one disabled person. S) Percent of households living in multifamily properties with at least one disabled person (pctTotalDisabledHHs) The value from totalDisabledHHs, times 100, divided by the total number of multifamily households counted for the geography. T) Number of households with at least one disabled person living in multifamily properties designed for the disabled disaggregated by type of disability feature (facility for elderly+disabled, disabled exclusively, the chronically mentally ill, the physically disabled, the developmentally disabled, or persons with HIV) (totalDisHHs_<condition>, where <condition> refers to EldrlyDisbld, DisbldExclsv, ChrncMentlIll, PhysDisbld, DvlpmtDisbld, HIV) Similar procedure to that of R), with calculations further disaggregated by the type of disability feature. Such disaggregation is made possible from merging the household data with the iREMS files - “iREMS 20141016 dbo_owner_survey” (1) and “iREMS 20141016 dbo_client_group_occupancy_detail” (2) – containing the following indicators: o eldrly_disabled_indicator (1) o exclusive_disabled_indicator (1) o chronically_mentally_ill_ind (2) o mobility_impairment_ind / other_impairment_ind (2) (facilities are identified as being for physically disabled if either one of these indicators equals “Y”) o developmentally_disabled_ind (2) o hiv_ind (2) U) Percent of households with at least one disabled person residing in multifamily housing units with disability features by type of disability feature (pctDisHHs_<condition>, where <condition> refers to those listed in T)) The value from T) is multiplied by 100, then divided by the total number of households residing in units containing each type of disability feature. (For example, if in a locality there are 100 households with at least one disabled person living in a unit of a facility identified as being for the physically disabled, and there are 200 total households identified within that locality as residing within a unit of a facility for the physically disabled, the value reported here would be 50 percent.) Note that in some geographies, there are zero units with a particular disability feature, in which case this procedure produces an empty value, since zero cannot be a denominator value. 38 Assisted Unit Count File: “accessible unit count by number of bedrooms.xlsx” V) The number of accessible public housing and multifamily units by bedroom count (accessibleUnits_<bedroom group>, where <bedroom group> is categorized into 0 to 1 bedrooms (0to1Br), 2 bedrooms (2Br), 3 bedrooms (3Br), and 4 or more bedrooms (4plusBr)) These estimates are obtained by counting the number of households inhabiting 1) a public housing unit which, by our previously noted criteria, is denoted as accessible, or 2) a multifamily property with disability features previously listed under T). Note that, because no information was available to the researchers for counting the number of units within each multifamily property specifically (i.e., the iREMs categorizes, for multifamily properties as a whole, whether disability features are available), these counts are to be interpreted as upper bound estimates. The bedroom count for each unit is determined from the variable num_bedrm_cnt, listed for each observation in the HUD longitudinal data. Supply and Demand Statistics File: “unaided inventory.xlsx” This file, provided for four geographic levels (U.S., state, county, and place) is discussed in two parts. The first, with products W) through Y), concerns statistics compiled with the combined use of HUD longitudinal data and CHAS data. The second, with Z) though BB), covers the final three summary statistics derived directly from the HUD longitudinal data. The CHAS data provided by HUD for 2008-2010 (Table 6), when disaggregated by income group, provides only calculations that are disaggregated by disability group, including a group for nondisabled households. Because a household may be counted under more than one disabled category, it is therefore currently not possible to directly calculate the total number of disabled households by adding together the totals from each group. For this reason, we additionally employ the CHAS dataset for 2006-2010, where an estimate of the total households for each income category are provided (Table 1A6). Subsequent references to the count of total disabled households, for each low income group, are to be thus interpreted as the difference between of total number of households according to the 2006-2010 CHAS data, and the total number of households identified as non-disabled, according to the 2008-2010 CHAS data. W) Total disabled households at various HUD-assistance-eligible HAMFI levels (disHHs <income group>, where <income group> refers to households within the income groups L30, L50, L80, over L80 [and, as noted earlier in this document, with these income groups being mutually exclusive, such that L50, for example, does not include L30 households], and all income groups) This is calculated directly from CHAS, by taking the estimated total number of disabled households within each of the four income groups. 39 X) Percent of households at various HUD-assistance-eligible HAMFI levels which have at least one disabled person (pctDisHHs <income group>) For each income group, the value from W), times 100, divided by the total number of households within that income group. Y) Total households at various HUD-assistance-eligible HAMFI levels with at least one disabled person minus disabled households receiving HUD assistance (unaidedDisHHs<income group>) This simply subtracts, from W), the number of HUD-assisted households with at least one disabled person within each low income category. These were calculated directly in the previously discussed “disabled household count by household income” file. Z) Percent of households at various HUD-assistance-eligible HAMFI levels with at least one disabled person minus disabled households receiving HUD assistance (pctUnaidedDisHHs<income group>) Similar procedure to X), but using Y) for the numerator instead of W). AA) Percent of households with at least one disabled person not receiving HUD assistance (pctUnaidedDisHHs<income group>) The value of Y) divided by W). The final three summary statistics are calculated directly from the HUD longitudinal database. BB) Percent of disabled HUD-assisted household in a housing voucher program, whose voucher is either part of the Designated or Mainstream voucher program (pctDisVoucherHHsInDesigOrMs) This calculates the percentage of households with one or more disabled persons listed under one of the five voucher programs listed in Table 1A which fall into either the designated or mainstream voucher category. CC) Percent of disabled HUD-assisted, households in a multifamily property living within a multifamily property with designated accessible units (pctDisMFHHsInAccblUnt) This calculates the percentage of households with one or disabled person, among those within a multifamily program, which live within a multifamily property that is designed for any one of the disability groups listed previously under H) and I). DD) Percent of disabled HUD-assisted, public housing households living within a designated accessible unit (pctDisPHHHsInAccblUnt) This calculates the percentage of public housing households with at least one disabled person that are living in an accessible unit (indicated by having an entry of “Y” under acsbl_unit_indr) 40 Table A1.
