    Hello everyone,

    I recently developed the Affordable Housing Intelligence Platform (AHIP), a decision-support project that brings together public housing data, business intelligence, statistical forecasting, scenario analysis, and AI-assisted interpretation.

    The goal is to help housing professionals better understand:

    • housing affordability and renter burden
    • housing supply and development activity
    • areas that may require deeper review
    • local operational issues such as permitting

    The public version currently includes three nationwide Power BI dashboards and a Miami-Dade County residential permitting pilot. The broader project also includes forecasting and scenario analysis to support future planning.

    I would greatly value feedback from the INFORMS community, particularly on the analytics methodology, forecasting approach, decision-support framework, data quality, and how this type of platform could be strengthened or applied in practice.

    Public toolkit:

    I would especially appreciate hearing from anyone working in operations research, analytics, AI, public-sector decision support, housing, or real estate.

    Thank you, and I look forward to learning from the community.
