Codebook for the Housing Allowance Office (HAO) Recertification Characteristics File, Site I, Year 5. Housing Assistance Supply Experiment

摘要

One of a series archiving housing allowance office (HAO) materials used in the Housing Assistance Supply Experiment, this codebook documents the HAO recertification characteristics file for Site I (Brown County, Wis.) during the first 5 years of the experimental housing allowance program (June 1974 to June 1979). The file contains data on all 58,011 recertification transactions, including updates and error corrections, that were completed during the period. The codebook describes each variable in the file, reproduces the relevant part of the administrative forms, specifies all permissible entries, and annotates each variable with a complete definition. Variables cover such topics as interview information, housing characteristics, household characteristics, and housing expenses. 'Marginals' -- actual frequency responses -- are tabulated. Besides the actual codebook, the report includes an index of variables, and appendices of recertification and housing unit certification forms; tables of standard housing expenses, 1975 to 1979; and maps of Brown County neighborhoods and census tracts.
