The presentation highlights recent research conducted by the University of Georgia's Department of Financial Planning, Housing, & Consumer Economics. The specific focus is on an emphasis that the department made to implement residential property management classes within the general housing curriculum. The results are dual track, in that they cover responses given by both students and apartment industry members, two important stakeholders in the overall development of a successful program. The research team would also like to thank Maureen Lambe of the National Apartment Association for her help in making available NAA membership lists to make such industry surveys possible.

Communities are at the core of the human experience and our design practice, yet we don’t always put the same level of active effort in designing our communities as we do in designing the products and services we make. We live and work embedded in networks of other people and systems. Communities are defined by shared norms and culture, and have a massive impact on how we live, think and act. Why leave this up to chance? We are all stewards of the many communities we engage in every day, and we need to take an active role in mindfully crafting these communities. So, how do we craft better communities? What does better even mean? This talk is a reflection on my experiences building and crafting communities at a variety of scales from the personal to the global. I will discuss my successes and failures, my fears and delights, as well as lessons learned along the way. We are nothing without the communities we inhabit, so let’s make them great together.

Benefit Cost Analysis (BCA) and Housing ApplicationsAndy Carswell
This presentation covers the applicability of three benefit-cost analyses within the housing sector. The three models cover the following situations: a) a builder advocating a temporary buydown mortgage for a buyer who is interested in one of his properties in a soft market; b) a home buyer who contemplates the net benefits of an energy-efficiency upgrade; and c) an illustration of a pro-active homelessness prevention program.
Costa Rica Habitat for Humanity Study Abroad PosterAndy Carswell
This poster describes a housing-related study abroad program from the UGA Maymester of 2015. This poster was presented at the 2015 Housing Education and Research Association Conference in Springfield, IL.
College Students Say the Darnedest ThingsAndy Carswell
This is a tongue-in-cheek presentation that is given to some of my classes at the very beginning of the semester. The presentation basically addresses some of the most consistently asked questions and statements by students that educators face from students, and serves as a good ice-breaker for students with whom I am not familiar. While being barraged by such statements/questions can get tedious over time, the author provides some (hopefully) helpful responses that when applied consistently across classrooms and cohort groups, can inject a little bit of common sense and a reality check to students when necessary. For veterans of the classroom, these statements/questions have all been heard before. For new professors/educators, this is a primer on just some of the things that you can expect students to ask/say over time...sometimes again and again. Cover art work by Ross Schmidt.
This presentation was given to my class by Quint Newcomer, the Director of UGA Costa Rica and the only single family LEED-certified home owner in the Athens area at the time of this presentation. The presentation serves as an introductory primer on what it means to "be green" as a home owner, and also details some of the steps that he took to make his own home LEED certified. Quint's wife, architect Lori Newcomer, designed the layout of the home as well.
Housing Vouchers: What They Are and How To Calculate ThemAndy Carswell
This slide show presentation describes the framework of the housing voucher program, specifically who benefits from it and how the structure of the program is set up. The presentation explains the types of regulations and financial obligations that a household will face in this situation. The information presented here can benefit both those who are seeking some form of housing assistance and those landlords who are interested in accommodating voucher-assisted households.
This presentation was made in late 2011, and serves as an introductory and generic instruction on the benefits that housing brings to the American household and to the general economy as well. It was presented to a resource management class within the College of Family and Consumer Sciences at the University of Georgia.
Reverse mortgages and older americans presentation (nov. 14, 2013)Andy Carswell
This presentation outlines some of the broad issues that encompass the dilemmas that seniors face in taking on reverse mortgages, a housing option that allows older Americans to age in place. In addition, the presentation covers some recent research results regarding housing counselors' roles in educating and preparing their clients on reverse mortgages, specifically the role that fraud from outside parties can play.
Virtual Property Manager: Providing a Simulated Learning Environment in a New...Andy Carswell
This presentation was given at the Education and Information Systems, Technologies and Applications (EISTA) Conference in Orlando. It provides details on a program that was created to help simulate the types of issues that a residential property manager would normally face in his or her job, such as building lease-up, marketing, budgeting, crisis management, and personnel hiring, among several other things. Results are given from an experiment that tested satisfaction with the simulation in both competitive and non-competitive environments, as well as the potential for the simulation to attract students to a "Residential Property Management" concentration. The University of Georgia is one of only about 6-8 colleges and universities that offers such a concentration.
Castle Doctrine: Its Origins and Impacts on U.S. HomeownersAndy Carswell
Laws involving the "Castle Doctrine" for home owners, or the ability to protect oneself from outside intruders, have been broadened in recent years to provide protections and extend gun rights in areas outside the home. This presentation is a brief introduction to the concept with reference to some high-profile cases.
Cover Art: Drake Dunaway
This presentation highlights some of the context behind the contentious debate between environmentalists and U.S. builder/developer interests over the issue of "wetlands". The issue has undertones that reveal the tension between pro-growth and slow- or no-growth advocates. It also reveals some of the machinations of the policy process, especially the use of agency power and the court system to bypass the legislative process. The material from which this presentation is based comes from the excellent book, "Housing in the Twenty-First Century: Achieving Common Ground", written by Kent Colton.
Pull Factors As a Way of Determining Retail Strength Andy Carswell
This presentation, made in late 2009, highlights the various industry "pull factors" that existed in metro Atlanta counties given Census and retail sales data. The presentation was made before the Atlanta Regional Commission in downtown Atlanta.
UGA Department of Housing and Consumer Economics Presentation To Athens RotaryAndy Carswell
This presentation, made in 2010, highlights some of the good works that have been done within the University of Georgia's Department of Housing & Consumer Economics (since renamed "Department of Financial Planing, Housing & Consumer Economics"). The presentation was made before the Athens Rotary Club.
Homelessness and "Housing First" Cost-Benefit PresentationAndy Carswell
This presentation covers an issue addressed at the Society of Benefit-Cost Analysis in Fall 2011. The topic of homelessness is discussed, particularly the efforts of homeless service providers in implementing an early-intervention "Housing First" approach, in which the external costs of homelessness such as drug abuse and incarceration are diminished through the provision of stable housing in the early stages of a homeless or near-homeless household. This approach was popularized by Sam Tsemberis a few decades ago, and its practical benefits were illuminated in the popular press in the mid-2000s in Malcolm Gladwell's New York Times magazine essay, "Million Dollar Murray".
This presentation helps to enunciate some of these costs and benefits even clearer , including secondary and tertiary benefits that had been either previously undisclosed or underreported. Much of these costs and benefits were derived and validated from conversations within the Athens homelessness provider community by the presenters.
This presentation highlights the types of home buyer assistance programs that are underutilized, yet which are made available to qualified home buyers. Many of those who qualify are not even aware of the fact that they would qualify for such assistance. The type of assistance that is usually made available is far-ranging, from down payment assistance to interest rate breaks to closing cost reduction.
The presentation begins with a layout of housing affordability pressures throughout both Georgia and the United States, with an additional emphasis on the effects that transportation costs have on metropolitan households. This creates a need for “workforce housing” which is interpreted differently from “affordable housing”. The presentation concludes with an illustration of the types of home buyer assistance opportunities that are made available through area MLS with the help of a program developed by Workforce Resource, an Atlanta-based company committed to making such opportunities available to qualified home buyers.
The presentation was made at a consumer conference in Chattanooga in early 2010. The presenters were Rob Chrane, Principal of Workforce Resource, LLC, and Dr. Andy Carswell, Associate Professor at the University Georgia’s Department of Financial Planning, Housing and Consumer Economics.
Georgia Facts: A Look at the "Five Georgias"Andy Carswell
This presentation was made before the Society of Georgia Archivists in 2009. It helps to show the diversity within the state of Georgia, and some of the trending patterns within different pockets of the state. This presentation is dedicated to the memory of long-time state demographer Doug Bachtel, who passed away in the summer of 2013, and who is listed as my co-presenter here.
Shift Share and Location Quotients: An Industry Sector AnalysisAndy Carswell
This presentation was given to the Valdosta/Lowndes County, GA Chamber of Commerce in Spring 2012. The presentation tracked industry growth by specific employment sectors and compared them against similar measures from more than a dozen "sister counties" throughout the Southeast U.S.
This presentation summarizes research conducted in 2009 on the characteristics of multifamily apartment properties that registered and became certified for LEED status as of late 2008/ early 2009. (Cover art by Ross Schmidt)
Community Land Trusts and Social/Neighborhood Outcomes in Athens, GAAndy Carswell
This presentation examines the work done by two UGA researchers on the housing outcomes of people who have entered into a limited homeownership situation made possible through a community land trust, or CLT. CLTs are shared equity partnerships that allow low- to moderate-income households to enter into homeownership situations without owning the land upon which the housing unit rests, thus making the transaction more affordable in the process. The households were surveyed on their present housing condition when compared with previous housing situations.
Mortgage Fraud: A Description and Community Research ResultsAndy Carswell
The following presentation highlights a white-collar crime activity that has flourished within American neighborhoods since the late 1990s and early 2000s. The slide show not only provides a description of mortgage fraud, but also highlights some of the academic research findings by the author over the past five years.
