Abstract: This paper presents the adaptation of the ?Florida Affordable Housing NeedsAssessment Methodology? (Noll et al., 1997) to Brazil. This was a task developedjointly by the Florida team with researchers from IPEA and the World Bank. TheAffordable Housing Needs Assessment Methodology, developed by the ShimbergCenter for Affordable Housing for the State of Florida, is based on householdestimates calculated from household formation rates and population-by-ageprojections. The Brazilian Model was developed for four regions: the country of Brazil as awhole, the Integrated Development Region of the Federal District (RIDE of DF),and the Metropolitan Regions of Recife and Curitiba. This paper describes theadaptation process, presents the newly developed Brazilian Affordable HousingNeeds Assessment and analyzes output from the model.
