Abstract: It was the purpose of this study to determine to what extent selected internal and external product characteristics of public and Turnkey III housing in High Point, North Carolina, meet the perceived needs and expectations of its residents; whether the selected human needs for social and psychological stimulation, creative outlets, a sense of place or rootedness, and to relate to others are being met in public and Turnkey III housing; and how needs, expectations, and other selected factors influence residents expressed degree of housing satisfaction. It was hypothesized that there would be no difference between the selected internal and external product characteristics of existing public and Turnkey III housing and the characteristics expected by the residents. A second hypothesis stated that there would be no significant difference between the criteria representing an environment supporting the needs for social and psychological stimulation and creative outlets and what is actually available in the public and Turnkey III housing project to meet these needs. It was also hypothesized that there would be no significant difference between the criteria representing an environment supporting the need for a sense of place or rootedness and the need to relate to others and the perceived satisfaction of these needs as reported by the residents.
