    Second-Generation LIHTC Opt-out Analysis: An Analysis of and Disposition Strategy for Georgia's Low Income Housing Tax Credit Portfolio (Developments Placed-in-Service between 1990 to 1995)
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004-05) Fichter, Darice N.
    Since its adoption in 1986, the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) has become the primary engine for the creation of affordable housing in the United States. Today, the nationwide tax credit portfolio numbers nearly one million units - an average of 65,000 rental units created every year since the program's inception. In Georgia, the LIHTC program has produced over 48,260 units of affordable housing. Even as the program's future holds the promise of greater production, the rent and income restrictions for second-generation tax credit properties are fast approaching expiration. In the absence of continuing affordability requirements owners will be free to raise rents on these properties, threatening low-income residents with displacement and presenting policy challenges to state and local governments. For these reasons this research examines the post-1989 nature of the expiring tax credit issue, an outline of the challenges to the development of housing preservation policy, the characteristics of Georgia's 1990 to 1995 ·tax credit portfolio, and policy recommendations in ·order to facilitate affordable housing preservation within the LIHTC program in Georgia.

    Row House Perspective
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004-03) Nikfar, Kris M.
    The Washington, D. C. metro area is home to nearly 5.5 million people, only 1 million more than the metropolitan statistical area of Atlanta and yet there are only 18 Row houses in the entire city of Atlanta and hundreds of these homes in Washington, D. C. My love of the beautiful Romanesque, Beaux Arts, Chatequesque and Classical Revival Row houses in Washington, D. C. inspired me to inquire as to why these homes do not exist in the city of Atlanta.

    Growth Management, Samboronden, Ecuador
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004) Gamble, Michael ; Roark, H. Randal
    The Canton of Samborondon, over the past nine months, has undertaken a planning process to determine the course of growth over the next 25 - 35 years in this rapidly growing Canton adjacent to Ecuador’s largest city, Guayaquil. With growth in the Canton expected to triple in this period (from about 60,000 to 180,000 persons), and with significant changes occurring in land and construction costs, demographics and the broadening market for new development, the already high stress on existing Canton infrastructure and services, and on the rich rice growing areas of the Canton and the traditional culture it supports, will become even more critical. Wishing to create a plan for orderly growth and provision of services with the participation of landowners, citizens and public officials, the Canton has produced this strategic framework for growth that can be used to guide land use policies, capital investments, and development ordinances. This plan was prepared with the assistance of The Georgia Tech College of Architecture in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, and the School of Architecture at the Universidad Especialidades Espiritu Santo (UEES), in Samborondon. In the fall of 2003 faculty and students from the UEES collected, mapped and analyzed relevant data with the assistance of both landowners and Canton officials. This work is presented in a separate document, and is available in the canton City Hall. During the spring of 2004 a series of planning workshops with Canton officials and stakeholders were held to facilitate a consensus on the main elements of the plan and the means to implement it. This also included a weeklong series of intensive sessions with planning and architecture students from Georgia Tech and UEES to help formulate and visualize the impact of growth in the Canton. It is our hope that the recommended policies contained in the plan will be adopted by the Canton and become the guide for future growth in the Canton to the benefit of its land and its people.
