| Title | Publicly Subsidized Housing | |||
| Abstract | HousingLink's Streams database is a searchable database of publicly-funded (subsidized) rental housing in the Twin Cities seven-county metro area where long-term rent restrictions (or direct rent subsidies) makes it affordable for those earning 80% or less of the area median income (AMI). This includes public housing, Project-Based Section 8, LIHTC (low-income housing tax credit) properties, and many other programs funded locally. Streams does not include emergency shelter, transitional, or supportive housing. | |||
| Purpose | Displays the location of publicly subsidized housing. | |||

| Use Constraints | Station Areas are defined as half-mile, non-overlapping transit-influenced areas based on existing and planned transitway station locations as defined by MetroTransit. In general, transitway stations are defined as a centrally located, single station point representing multidirectional transit stops or platforms. Additional consolidations of transitway stations were made to "coexisting" multimodal stations (i.e., Blue Line's 46th Street Station (Hiawatha Ave) A-Line's 46th Street Station) before defining Station Area. Both the consolidation of stations and definition of station areas are supported by the Federal Transportation Administration (FTA) Reporting Instructions for the Section 5309 Capital Investment Grant Program.
The source and allocation methodology of data included in the Station Area Statistics can be found in the data layer metadata record. Because some station areas can represent more than one transitway corridor, the statistics for all Station Areas are provided with the download of any data layer requested at the All Station Area geography. Each Station Area is associated with a transitway Corridor segment (Corridor_ID). A Corridor segment can include one (1) to eighteen (18) stations. Use the following matrix to associate and/or summarize Corridor segments to a specific corridor(s): Corridor_ID = Corridor 1001, 1002, 1003, 1005, 1014 = Blue Line 1001, 1004 = Northstar Commuter Rail 1005, 1006, 1011 = Red Line 1001, 1002, 1007, 1015 = Green Line 1013, 1014, 1015 = A Line 1008 = Green Line Extension 1009 = Blue Line Extension 1010 = Orange Line 1012 = Gold Line 1016 = C Line 1017 = Red Rock Note: avoid double counting common Corridor segments (i.e., 2001, 2002) when summarizing multiple corridors (i.e., Blue and Green Lines). | |||

| Section 2 | Data Quality | |||
| Attribute Accuracy | Valid code tests have been conducted. No known attribute errors exist. | |||
| Logical Consistency | ||||
| Completeness | Data is only as complete as the input from local communities. Data is received directly from Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA), U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and several other large agencies. Data is then reconciled between sources and then reviewed by individual counties, communities, and non-profit funders. | |||

| Overview | Attributes for Tabular Data (County and Community):
CO_CODE: 3 digit FIPS and state standard county ID code 003 = Anoka County 019 = Carver County 037 = Dakota County 053 = Hennepin County 123 = Ramsey County 139 = Scott County 163 = Washington County CTU_CODE: 5 digit FIPS55 'Place' code for CTU. As of 2006 these codes have been officially retired by the federal government. They are replaced by the GNIS codes below. The Census Bureau will continue to create FIPS55 Place codes for new cities and townships through the 2010 Census. After that, no new FIPS55 codes will be created. Note that for townships that wholly incorporate into cities, the same FIPS55 code for the former township will usually be used for the new city. Conversely, GNIS creates a new ID for the new city. CTU_ID: The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) official federal unique identifier for each city, township or unorganized territory. COCTU_ID: 11 digit identifier for the combination of county and CTU (concatination of CO_CODE and CTU_ID_CEN). This is the official U.S. Census Bureau format. CTU_NAME: Name of the city, township or unorganized territory, e.g. Benton Twp., Blaine. YEAR: Year of data HOUSING_AFFORD_LEVEL: Affordability level of rental units for households based on Area Median Income (AMI). HOUSING_UNITS: Number of rental units sold within a given geography and price range. DATASOURCE: Source of the data HousingLink.org COMMUNITY DESIGNATION: A designation of each city and township based on the overall state of development and regional issues faced by that community. Attributes for Tabular Data (Station Areas): See Use Constraints for Station Area analysis. CORRIDOR_SEGMENT_ID: 4 digit indicator of the Corridor Segment. CORRIDOR_SEGMENT: Description of the Corridor Segment. Corridor Segments make up full corridors. A Corridor Segment can be part of multiple corridors STATION_AREA_ID: Station Area Identifier (COUNTY_CODE + CTU_ID + Unique Station ID). STATION_AREA: Description of the Station Area CTU_ID: The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) official federal unique identifier for the city, township or unorganized territory where the station is located. COMMUNITY: Description of the community where the Station is located. COUNTY_CODE: 3 digit FIPS and state standard county ID code where the Station is located COUNTY: Name of the county where the station is located YEAR: Year of data HOUSING_AFFORD_LEVEL: Affordability level of rental units for households based on Area Median Income (AMI). HOUSING_UNITS: Number of rental units sold within a given geography and price range. COMMUNITY DESIGNATION: A designation of each city and township based on the overall state of development and regional issues faced by that community.
