Abstract

This paper shows that the framework of the proposed Housing Eligibility Assessment Scoring Method for low-income urgent repair programs is guided by the following five key eligibility assessment criteria categories: location, owner-occupancy, family needs, housing repair, and estimated repair costs.

Item Type: Article
Uncontrolled Keywords: housing; score; defect; eligibility; programme; repair
Index terms: program, housing, repair, programme, eligibility, income, owner
Subjects: economic analysis, construction type, sociology, project controls, software systems, maintenance engineering, employment law

Descriptive scope: 2 PC

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
