HOME Income Limits

HOME Income Limits are calculated using the same methodology that HUD uses for calculating the income limits for the Section 8 program. These limits are based on HUD estimates of median family income, with adjustments based on family size. The Department's methodology for calculating nationwide median family income figures is described in Notice PDR-2001-01. For more information about how HUD calculates the HOME Program income limits, visit huduser.gov, the website for HUD's Office of Policy Development and Research, for more general information.
HOME Grantee Areas

The HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) is authorized under Title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act. HOME provides formula grants to States and localities that communities use  often in partnership with local nonprofit groups  to fund a wide range of activities that build, buy, and/or rehabilitate affordable housing for rent or homeownership or provide direct rental assistance to low-income people. HOME is the largest Federal block grant to State and local governments designed exclusively to create affordable housing for low-income households. Each year it allocates approximately $2 billion among the States and hundreds of localities nationwide.
HOME Activity by Tract

This service provides aggregated Home Investments Partnership Program (HOME) activity data by 2010 US Census Tracts. The HOME Program is a federal block grant program distributed (via formula) to states and local governments. Participating jurisdictions may use HOME funds for a variety of housing activities, according to local housing needs. Eligible uses of funds include: tenant-based rental assistance, housing rehabilitation, assistance to home-buyers, and new construction of housing.
HECM Single Family Portfolio Snapshot

The Federal Housing Administration's HECM program is the only government-insured reverse mortgage program. The HECM program guarantees that the lender will meet its payment obligations to the homeowner, limits the borrower's loan origination costs, and insures full repayment of the loan balance to the lender up to the maximum claim amount. The loan amount is based on borrower age, home value, and current interest rates. The HECM data files provide loan-level records that will enable interested parties to explore issues regarding downpayment assistance provided to homebuyers utilizing HECM insured mortgage financing.
Fair Market Rents lookup tool

Fair Market Rents (FMRs) are used to determine payment standard amounts for the Housing Choice Voucher program, to determine initial renewal rents for some expiring project-based Section 8 contracts, to determine initial rents for housing assistance payment (HAP) contracts in the Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy program (Mod Rehab), rent ceilings for rental units in both the HOME Investment Partnerships program and the Emergency Solution Grants program, calculation of maximum award amounts for Continuum of Care recipients and the maximum amount of rent a recipient may pay for property leased with Continuum of Care funds, and calculation of flat rents in Public Housing units. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) annually estimates FMRs for Office of Management and Budget (OMB) defined metropolitan areas, some HUD defined subdivisions of OMB metropolitan areas and each nonmetropolitan county. 42 USC 1437f requires FMRs be posted at least 30 days before they are effective and that they are effective at the start of the federal fiscal year (generally October 1).
Location Affordability Index v 1.0

The Location Affordability Index (LAI) helps to better understand the combined cost of housing and transportation. The LAI estimates the percentage of a family’s income dedicated to the combined cost of housing and transportation in a given location. Because what is “affordable” is different for everyone, users can choose among a diverse set of family profiles—which vary by household income, size, and number of commuters—and see the affordability landscape for each in a given neighborhood, city, or region.
Fair Market Rents (Geospatial)

Fair Market Rents (FMRs) represent the estimated amount (base rent + essential utilities) that a property in a given area typically rents for. The data are primarily used to determine payment standard amounts for the Housing Choice Voucher program. However, FMRs are also used to determine initial renewal rents for expiring project-based Section 8 contracts, determine initial rents for housing assistance payment (HAP) contracts in the Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy program (Mod Rehab), rent ceilings for rental units in both the HOME Investment Partnerships program and the Emergency Solution Grants (ESG) program, calculate of maximum award amounts for Continuum of Care recipients and the maximum amount of rent a recipient may pay for property leased with Continuum of Care funds, and calculate flat rent amounts in Public Housing Units.
Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) Grantees

This dataset denotes the locations and pertinent information for Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) grantees. The Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) is a competitive grant program established by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987 (42 U.S.C. 3616) which allows for grants to private non-profit organizations to assist with issues of housing discrimination.
Fair Housing Assistance Program (FHAP) Grantees

This dataset denotes the locations and pertinent information for Fair Housing Assistance Program (FHAP) grantees. If such agencies are determined by FHEO to enforce state or local fair housing laws that are substantially equivalent to the federal Fair Housing Act, they can receive financial and operational assistance from FHEO to enforce such laws. FHAP agencies receive funding from HUD to support their efforts. Payments are made once a year after the end of the period of performance for that agency.
FHFA Underserved Areas

The Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992 (Safety and Soundness Act) provides for the establishment of single-family and multifamily goals each year, including a single-family purchase money mortgage goal for families residing in low-income areas.  The Safety and Soundness Act defines "low-income area" as: (a) census tracts or block numbering areas in which the median income does not exceed 80 percent of area median income (AMI), (b) families with income not greater than 100 percent of AMI who reside in minority census tracts, and (c) families with income not greater than 100 percent of AMI who reside in designated disaster areas.  A “minority census tract” is a census tract that has a minority population of at least 30 percent and a median income of less than 100 percent of the AMI.  Census tract level data identifying these areas are available below for 2010 and 2011 based on 2000 Census tract geography, and for 2012 and subsequent years based on 2010 Census tract geography.

​As in the previous underserved area definition, low-income area and minority census tract definitions are based on prior year metropolitan area definitions as determined by OMB.  Designated disaster areas are identified by FHFA based on the three most recent years' declarations by the Federal Emergency Management Agency​ (FEMA), where individual assistance payments were authorized by FEMA.  Each file includes a map of the counties identified as designated disaster areas and a description of the data layout, also available separately.
FHA Single Family REO Properties For Sale

This service provides data on Federal Housing Administration (FHA) single family, Real Estate Owned (REO) properties that are up for sale. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Real Estate Owned (REO) properties are the result of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) paying a claim to a lending institution on a foreclosed property which was financed with an FHA Insured Mortgage, and the lender has transferred ownership of the property of to HUD. Typically, title to the property is not transferred (or the claim paid) until the previous owner is evicted from the property. Normally, after the home is transferred to HUD, the property will go up for auction on the HUD Home store website.
FHA Insured Single Family Properties by Census Tract - National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA)

The Federal Housing Administration, generally known as FHA, provides mortgage insurance on loans made by FHA-approved lenders throughout the United States and its territories. FHA insures mortgages on single family and multifamily homes including manufactured homes and hospitals. It is the largest insurer of mortgages in the world, insuring over 34 million properties since its inception in 1934. The insurance is force represents the outstanding balance of an active loan.
Estimated Housing Authority Service Areas

This service denotes estimated PHA service area boundaries in an effort to provide critical data to those responsible (HUD staff, researchers, and external partners) for the evaluation and monitoring of HUD’s rental assistance programs. This is an experimental dataset that is designed to aid researchers in studying the HUD-funded Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs. The methodology and the service areas themselves have not been validated by HUD’s Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH) or the Public Housing Agencies. PD&R welcomes engagement from internal and external stakeholders on the continued refinement and development of this dataset.
FHEO Filed Title VIII Cases

The dataset is a list of all the Title VIII fair housing cases filed by FHEO and includes the case number, case name, filing date, state and county of the alleged violation, and the bases for the alleged discriminatory acts. The Federal bases are race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, familial status and retaliation for filing a fair housing complaint. Some of the bases have been broken out into more detailed groupings (Race - Asian, etc.) A single case may have multiple bases. The data can be aggregated to the county or state level to show patterns in the quantity and bases of fair housing complaints filed.
Emergency Solutions Grantee (ESG) Areas

The purpose of the Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) program is to identify sheltered and unsheltered homeless persons, as well as those at risk of homelessness, and to assist those individuals and families regain stability in permanent housing following a housing crisis and/or homelessness. The ESG is a non-competitive formula grant awarded to recipients which are state governments, large cities, urban counties, and U.S. territories.
Deteriorated Paint Index by Tract

The Deteriorated Paint Index (DPI) data predicts areas at-risk of containing several pre-1980 households with large areas of deteriorated paint, a significant and common predictor of lead dust, at the Tract level. Funding for remediation and abatement is limited. To adequately target households eligible for home remediation and associated intervention efforts, local healthy homes and environmental health program administrators must identify neighborhoods that are the most “at risk” of residential lead exposure where deteriorated paint is the primary source. To address this need, the DPI uses household-level data to predict a household’s risk of deteriorated paint.
Deteriorated Paint Index by State

The Deteriorated Paint Index (DPI) data predicts areas at-risk of containing several pre-1980 households with large areas of deteriorated paint, a significant and common predictor of lead dust, at the State level. Funding for remediation and abatement is limited. To adequately target households eligible for home remediation and associated intervention efforts, local healthy homes and environmental health program administrators must identify neighborhoods that are the most “at risk” of residential lead exposure where deteriorated paint is the primary source. To address this need, the DPI uses household-level data to predict a household’s risk of deteriorated paint.
Deteriorated Paint Index by County

FHEO - Fair Housing Act Cases Filed by Year and State

The Fair Housing Act Cases Filed by Year and State with the Bases dataset summarizes the cases filed as a result of complaints made regarding violations of the Fair Housing Act.  The Fair Housing Act prohibits most discrimination in housing transactions based on federally recognized bases (race, religion, familial status, etc.)  Cases are investigated by the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) within the Department of Housing and Urban Development or by state or local government agencies (FHAP agencies) who partner with FHEO to investigate these complaints.  Cases may be conciliated or settled during the investigation process, or there may be reasons why a case needs to be administratively closed, or else the investigation will determine whether there was cause to believe discrimination occurred.  If there is cause to believe discrimination occurred, the case will go through a legal adjudication process to be resolved.
Contracts with Rent Amount and Utility Allowance Amount

Multifamily Portfolio datasets (section 8 contracts) - The information has been compiled from multiple data sources within FHA or its contractors.
HUD oversees more than 22,000 privately owned multifamily properties, and more than 1.4 million assisted housing units.  These homes were originally financed with FHA-insured or Direct Loans and many are supported with Section 8 or other rental assistance contracts.  Our existing stock of affordable rental housing is a critical resource for seniors and families who otherwise would not have access to safe, decent places to call home.

Local Employment Dynamics (LED) for HOPWA Grantee Areas

This dataset denotes Local Employment Dynamics (LED) data relative to HOPWA grantee areas. The LED Partnership is a voluntary federal-state enterprise created for the purpose of merging employee, and employer data to provide a set of enhanced labor market statistics known collectively as Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWI). The QWI are a set of economic indicators including employment, job creation, earnings, and other measures of employment flows.
Continuum of Care (CoC) Housing Inventory Count Reports

Continuum of Care (CoC) Homeless Assistance Programs Housing Inventory Count Reports are a snapshot of a CoC’s housing inventory, available at the national and state level, and for each CoC. The reports are based on the Housing Inventory Count (HIC), an inventory of housing conducted on a single night during the last ten days in January. It reflects the number of beds and units available on the night designated for the count that are dedicated to serve persons who are homeless. The HIC also includes information about unmet need.
Note: This information has not been independently verified by HUD. Where possible, CoCs are encouraged to use HMIS data to generate the HIC. Since compliance with these standards may vary, the reliability and consistency of the homeless counts may also vary among CoCs. Additionally, a shift in the methodology a CoC uses to count the homeless may cause a change in homeless counts between reporting periods. These reports are available annually starting from 2005.
Continuum of Care (CoC) Homeless Populations and Subpopulations Reports

This report displays the data communities reported to HUD about the nature of and amount of persons who are homeless as part of HUD's Point-in-Time (PIT) Count.  This data is self-reported by communities to HUD as part of its competitive Continuum of Care application process.  The website allows users to select PIT data from 2005 to present.  Users can use filter by CoC, states, or the entire nation.
Continuum of Care (CoC) Grantee Areas

The Continuum of Care (CoC) Homeless Assistance Programs administered by HUD award funds competitively and require the development of a Continuum of Care system in the community where assistance is being sought. A continuum of care system is designed to address the critical problem of homelessness through a coordinated community-based process of identifying needs and building a system to address those needs. The approach is predicated on the understanding that homelessness is not caused merely by a lack of shelter, but involves a variety of underlying, unmet needs - physical, economic, and social. Funds are granted based on the competition following the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA).
Continuum of Care (CoC) GIS Tools

These datasets contain the geographic boundaries and funding status information for HUD’s Continuum of Care (CoC) areas by Year.

HUD is providing these datasets for use by CoC grantees, homeless services planners, and research institutions. Because HUD provides competitive funding for homeless services through a CoC structure that is developed at the local level, outside research based on this structure cannot be accomplished without the provision of the geographic boundaries and related data provided herein. Therefore, this dataset was developed to make the CoC process and funding as transparent as possible to the public.
Continuum of Care (CoC) Dashboard Reports

Continuum of Care (CoC) Homeless Assistance Programs Dashboard Reports are available for each CoC and include information on each CoC’s awards by award amount, program type, and renewal type. The reports contain summary data from the Point-in-Time (PIT) count and Housing Inventory Count (HIC). They also provide a quick overview of a CoC’s performance in serving homeless individuals with their CoC awards. Note: This report is based on information provided to HUD by CoCs in the CoC application and has not been independently verified by HUD.
Continuum of Care (CoC) Areas

The purpose of the Continuum of Care (CoC) Homeless Assistance Programs is to reduce the incidence of homelessness in CoC communities by assisting homeless individuals and families in quickly transitioning to self-sufficiency and permanent housing. The programs administered by HUD award funds competitively and require the development of a Continuum of Care system in the community where assistance is being sought. A continuum of care system is designed to address the critical problem of homelessness through a coordinated community-based process of identifying needs and building a system to address those needs. The approach is predicated on the understanding that homelessness is not caused merely by a lack of shelter, but involves a variety of underlying, unmet needs - physical, economic, and social. Funds are granted based on the competition following the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA).
Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS)

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) periodically receives custom tabulations of data from the U.S. Census Bureau that are largely not available through standard Census products. These data, known as the CHAS data (Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy), demonstrate the extent of housing problems and housing needs, particularly for low income households. The CHAS data are used by local governments to plan how to spend HUD funds, and may also be used by HUD to distribute grant funds
Components of Inventory Change (CINCH) Reports

The Components of Inventory Change (CINCH) report measures changes in the characteristics of the housing stock of the United States. Using data collected from the national American Housing Survey (AHS), conducted every two years, the characteristics of individual housing units are compared across time. This comparison allows researchers to see not only changes in the characteristics of housing units, but also in the characteristics of occupants. Information is available on the characteristics of units added and removed from the housing stock. he CINCH is produced after each AHS is collected (the AHS is collected every two years in odd-numbered years)
Community Planning and Development (CPD) Maps System

CPD Maps includes data on the locations of existing CDBG, HOME, public housing and other HUD-funded community assets, so that users can view past investments geographically when considering various strategies for future funding. CPD Maps offers a large amount of data in a way that is easy to access. The website allows grantees and the general public to easily search, query, and display information to identify trends and analyze the needs of their community.
Community Planning and Development (CPD) Appropriations Budget & Allocations

The datasets are the full-year allocations for HUD's Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD) formula programs: Community Development Block Grants (CDBG); HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), including the American Dream Downpayment Initiative (ADDI); Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA); and Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG). HUD's CPD office seeks to develop viable communities by promoting integrated approaches that provide decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expand economic opportunities for low and moderate income persons. The primary means towards this end is the development of partnerships among all levels of government and the private sector, including for-profit and non-profit organizations. Datasets are available starting from FY2001.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Performance Profiles

These profiles significantly increase the amount of information that is available about the performance of CDBG grantees. It is important that our grantees, all our stakeholders, and citizens be able to access detailed information about the performance of each local CDBG program. This access helps ensure accountability and assists in assessing the progress of each grantee's program. These profiles also assist grantees in measuring their contributions toward meeting the housing and community developments needs of low- and moderate-income persons in their communities and in analyzing the effectiveness and efficiency of their program.
