This work will contribute to the DeVoe Moore Center Housing Affordability research initiative, which focuses on examining economic and policy literature, collecting and analyzing housing data, and uncovering insights to inform policies aimed at improving housing affordability, particularly in Florida.
The primary focus of this research is on Housing Choice Vouchers. The project aims to determine the national HCV gap—the disparity between the number of eligible households and the number of available vouchers—while also investigating issues specific to Florida's housing market.
The research involves applying a specialized methodology to clean and analyze housing data, expanding from Florida to a nationwide scale.
Additionally, the project will involve collecting data from Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) in Florida and analyzing the mechanisms behind certain phenomena related to HCV allocation. This work is part of a broader effort to understand and address housing affordability challenges.
There may also be an opportunity to collaborate with other team members working on related aspects of housing affordability. For instance, the project may include work related to economic analysis of Impact Fees on housing development in Florida.

Literature review, data collection, data analysis, data visualization, data cleaning and preparation, policy writing, reading and understanding the economics of housing and housing policy. Depending on student interest and ability, tasks may also include Python algorithm development and custom data processing.
Required: Ambition and a strong drive to contribute to meaningful research, ability to think creatively and outside the box, strong analytical skills, a commitment to consistently show up and engage fully in assigned tasks, ability to work collaboratively in a research team.
Recommended: Familiarity with or interest in housing policy and the economics of housing, experience with data analysis tools (e.g., Excel, R, Python), knowledge of data visualization techniques, experience with policy writing, proficiency in conducting literature reviews, basic understanding of working with data, basic programming skills (particularly in Python), public speaking, and presenting findings to stakeholders.

I aim to help researchers develop ambition, take initiative, and build confidence in their abilities. I focus on teaching practical skills like time management, setting realistic but challenging goals, and guiding them through to the finish line.
