This data, maintained by the Mayor’s Office of Housing (MOH), is an inventory of all income-restricted units in the city. This data includes public housing owned by the Boston Housing Authority (BHA), privately- owned housing built with funding from DND and/or on land that was formerly City-owned, and privately-owned housing built without any City subsidy, e.g., created using Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) or as part of the Inclusionary Development Policy (IDP). Information is gathered from a variety of sources, including the City's IDP list, permitting and completion data from the Inspectional Services Department (ISD), newspaper advertisements for affordable units, Community Economic Development Assistance Corporation’s (CEDAC) Expiring Use list, and project lists from the BHA, the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), MassHousing, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), among others. The data is meant to be as exhaustive and up-to-date as possible, but since many units are not required to report data to the City of Boston, MOH is constantly working to verify and update it. See the data dictionary for more information on the structure of the data and important notes. The database only includes units that have a deed-restriction. It does not include tenant-based (also known as mobile) vouchers, which subsidize rent, but move with the tenant and are not attached to a particular unit. There are over 22,000 tenant-based vouchers in the city of Boston which provide additional affordability to low- and moderate-income households not accounted for here.

Abstract Many researches have shown that social housing projects (SHP) developed in Brazil have not been meeting the users' real needs. As a consequence, many adaptations and extensions have been made that imply spending already scarce funds for this segment of the population. Moreover, very often, it results in poor quality housing. This article presents results of a study which aimed to verify the applicability of Mass Customization (MC), used by the manufacturing industry for being more effective in meeting customer demands, in the context of SHP production in the Minha Casa Minha VIda project (MCMVP). The research consisted of a literature review, searching for a conceptual overview of MC, as well as the development of a case study in a housing company. This study comprised a requirements analysis of a two-year SHP company to verify the characteristics and diversity of users´ requirements not met, and an information flow map from registering families interested in SHP (demand) to handing over the keys to the families and identifying barriers and opportunities of using MC. The results indicate the applicability of the segmented MC and, using prefabricated technology, the possibility of including specific requirements of the client before handing over the keys.
