With the subsidy expiration fast approaching on a significant portion of the affordable housing stock with in the next 10 years. There is an increasing need to resupply the market with additional affordable housing to not only accomodate the exisiting population but also to take into account its inevitable growth over the next decade.
This map is a macro scale analysis of Orlando as a whole showing the break down of the population density through a filter based off of age and ethnicity. Evaluation of the existing affordable housing stock has determined that there is a much larger percentage of elderly and minority housing that falls with in the expiring subsidies. This study aims to identify general population characteristics in relation to a few basic amenities, such as bus lines, mass transit, and parks.

Courtesy of the City of Orlando this map designates the extent of mid to low income within Orlando. It is pertinent to note that when compared to the above map that the majority of the low income areas fall within the largest concentrations of minorities.
The proposed site selected is currently slated for development of a new medical office and hotel. This plan then is an design option for the use of the land. (Note to D, talk about bus connection and medical proximity for elderly. map out amenities, etc. photoshop high density R-3d or MXD-2 for the block)
The analysis of this site has revealed a high density community that currently exists in the vicinity. The community is made up of mostly elderly residents. Considering the subsequent expiration of assisted living subsidies that are used in nearby residential towers and the growing elderly population, the proposed project seeks to create a new retirement community between existing elderly clusters to develop a high density district that is within close proximity of downtown and its amenties but also closely connected to the existing transit system to allow the residents the freedom to venture beyond their property with out the aid of an automobile.
