Public housing authorities face growing demand for low cost housing from a diversifying range of households. This project addresses three parts of this problem for an emblematic region. It develops robust geographic information systems models to predict low-cost housing demand in rural and regional areas. This major technical advance is situated within studies of institutional behaviours affecting operations of housing authorities.
