What is Proposition 46? • Housing and Emergency Shelter Trust Fund Act (November 2002) • 2.1 billion dollar bond to help fund the construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of affordable rental housing, emergency shelters, homeless facilities, and down payment assistance to low/moderate income first-time homebuyers • Fund can be allocated into four primary programs
Proposition 46 Programs • Multifamily Housing Programs (MHP) • 1.11 billion dollars, about 53% of the total fund • The objective of this program is to provide funds for the construction of rental housing projects, such as apartment buildings, for low-income households
Proposition 46 Programs • Homeownership Programs • 405 million dollars, about 19% of the total fund • Money from this measure will be used to provide down payment assistance to homebuyers through low-interest loans and grants • Eligibility will be based on the household’s income, the cost of the home, and whether it is a first time purchase

Problem Statement The Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California (NPH) and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) seeks to answer the following questions: • Where and how much of the awarded Proposition 46 funds have been allocated for the state California? • Assess areas of affordable housing need: Where are areas of overpayment? • Are the allocated funds reaching those in need of affordable housing?
Problem Statement • Our group made a statewide assessment of Proposition 46 fund allocation, overlaid with data signifying areas of overpayment for each city in California. • Our group further analyzed Proposition 46 funds and housing need focusing on four of the largest urban areas in California: the Bay Area, Sacramento, Los Angeles and San Diego.
Data Sources • Proposition 46 fund data from HCD • California Department of Housing and Community Development • Demographic data from the American Factfinder website (www. factfinder.census.gov) • H-69: Gross rent as a percent of household income • Spatial data from Professor John Radke • County, city, and tract shapefiles for California
HCD Prop 46 Fund Data • Eleven Excel tables indicating sub-programs • Attribute information • Location: County & City • Amount of fund awarded • Number of housing units awarded • Project Name • Had to consolidate into five primary programs • Multifamily Housing Program (MHP) • Homeownership Programs (CalHome) • Joe Serna, Jr. Farmworker Housing Program • Other Programs – Exterior Accessibility Grants for Renters • Local Housing Trust Fund Program (MHP)
Consolidation of Fund Programs • Microsoft Access • Queries were created to link, join, and sum the sub-program data into the primary categories • ArcGIS • Joins were performed in ArcMap to link fund attribute information to the shapefiles • Coverages were created for area and centroids • Population Density & Fund Points
American Factfinder Census Data • US Census Data • H69 - Gross Rent as a Percentage of Household Income in 1999: Gross rent as a percentage of household income in 1999 is a computed ratio of monthly gross rent to monthly household income (total household income in 1999 divided by 12) • Data Extraction for Statewide assessment: manual extraction of H69 for all 58 counties (amounted to 387 cities) • Data Extraction for Regional assessment: manual extraction of H69 (Bay Area Counties, Sacramento County, Los Angeles County, San Diego County: amounted to 4,342 tracts) • Factfinder tables Excel Spreadsheets conversion to dbf files and joined to shapefiles via Microsoft Access
