This project will analyze how privately owned affordable housing - the most prevalent type of project-based subsidized housing in the US - affects low-income communities. Specifically, it will evaluate affordable housing's effect on the formation of support networks or groups of individuals who depend on each other for material, service, and information-based assistance. This project will compare support network formation in affordable housing with support network formation in market-rate rental housing. The objective in this comparison is to identify the characteristics of affordable housing, such as the physical design of housing complexes and the rules and regulations required for tenancy, which may influence the formation of support networks among neighbors. The comparison will be made using original survey and interview data collected in a low-income neighborhood in the City of San Diego. The survey data will be statistically analyzed to identify patterns of support network formation within and between the two housing environments. The interview data will then be used to explain the social processes underpinning the patterns identified in the statistical analysis. The findings will contribute to sociological theory of housing and social capital while also increasing knowledge of the US social safety net. This project will help the providers of affordable housing understand its residents' ability to access resources needed for daily life and socioeconomic mobility. This project makes available to affordable housing providers a method of collecting and analyzing data to evaluate their housing services.

该项目将分析私人拥有的经济适用住房（美国最普遍的项目补贴住房类型）如何影响低收入社区。具体来说，它将评估经济适用房对支持网络或相互依赖物质、服务和信息援助的个人群体形成的影响。该项目将比较经济适用房的支持网络形成与市场价租赁住房的支持网络形成。本次比较的目的是确定经济适用房的特征，例如住宅区的物理设计以及租赁所需的规则和规定，这些特征可能会影响邻居之间支持网络的形成。 将使用在圣地亚哥市低收入社区收集的原始调查和访谈数据进行比较。将对调查数据进行统计分析，以确定两种住房环境内部和之间的支持网络形成模式。然后，访谈数据将用于解释支持统计分析中确定的模式的社会过程。研究结果将有助于住房和社会资本的社会学理论，同时也增加对美国社会安全网的了解。该项目将帮助经济适用房的提供者了解其居民获得日常生活和社会经济流动性所需资源的能力。该项目为经济适用房提供商提供了一种收集和分析数据以评估其住房服务的方法。
