<br /> SPECIAL HOUSING NEEDS(from Indian River County Board of County Commissioners Comprehensive Plan):
<br /> In determining housing needs,there are several population categories that warrant particular consideration. These are the elderly,the low income
<br /> disabled,and farmworkers. One population category that warrants special consideration from a housing needs perspective is the elderly. The
<br /> following table shows the percentage of Indian River County households headed by a person 65 or older as reported by the 1990 census,the 2000
<br /> census,and the 2005 Shimberg Center for affordable housing estimate:
<br /> Percentage of Elderly Head of Households-Indian River County
<br /> 1990 Census 2000 Census 2005 Shimberg
<br /> Percentage of Households
<br /> headed by a person of 65 or older 28.75% 36.09% 41%
<br /> Compared to other areas,Indian River County has a high percentage of elderly households.According to Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing,
<br /> elderly households,in 2005 constituted 27%of all households statewide,while elderly households constituted 41%of all county households.
<br /> In Indian River County,future housing needs for elderly households(65+)were projected by utilizing Shimberg Center figures which indicate that,
<br /> in 2005,41%of households were headed by an elderly person. The following table shows the projected number of elderly households within the
<br /> county through 2030:
<br /> (Current 2013 Shimberg data is available on-line)
<br /> Projected Number for Housing for Elderly(65+) (41%of Total Housin Units)
<br /> 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030
<br /> Elderly households
<br /> (County total) 29,821 32,480 35,477 38,432 41,261
<br /> The County targets its housing assistance resources to very low,low,and moderate income elderly households.By targeting assistance to very low,
<br /> low and moderate income households generally,the county also provides assistance to elderly households which fall in those income categories and
<br /> need assistance.
<br /> PROJECTED HOUSING NEEDS(from Indian River County Board of County Commissioners Comprehensive Plan):
<br /> Housing need is defined as the number of new dwelling units that must be constructed within a certain timeframe to accommodate a projected
<br /> future population. For Indian River County,the University of Florida Bureau of Economic and Business Research(BEBR)population projections
<br /> are used to project the number of future households and,consequently,the number of units needed to house those households.Assuming a 15%rate
<br /> for seasonal and vacant units,the total needed units are then calculated. For years 2010,2015,2020,2025,and 2030,the total number of additional
<br /> units needed was determined by subtracting existing units from projected units.Based on those projections,an additional 26,839 units must be
<br /> constructed between now and 2030.
<br /> As in the past,virtually all of the housing units needed by 2030 will be constructed by the private sector.As such,market demand will dictate the
<br /> pace of housing construction through 2030,and no county policies are needed to ensure that overall housing needs are met.While overall housing
<br /> need will be met by the private sector,government assistance will be needed for those households in the lowest income categories.
