AndreaBozzo/ceres-open-data-index huggingface dataset:
Low to Moderate Income Population by Tract

This service identifies U.S. Census Tracts in which 51% or more of the households earn less than 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program requires that each CDBG funded activity must either principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons, aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight, or meet a community development need having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community and other financial resources are not available to meet that need. With respect to activities that principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons, at least 51 percent of the activity's beneficiaries must be low and moderate income.
Low to Moderate Income Population by Block Group

This service identifies U.S. Census Block Groups in which 51% or more of the households earn less than 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program requires that each CDBG funded activity must either principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons, aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight, or meet a community development need having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community and other financial resources are not available to meet that need. With respect to activities that principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons, at least 51 percent of the activity's beneficiaries must be low and moderate income.
Low and Moderate Income Areas

This dataset and map service provides information on the U.S. Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) low to moderate income areas. The term Low to Moderate Income, often referred to as low-mod, has a specific programmatic context within the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Over a 1, 2, or 3-year period, as selected by the grantee, not less than 70 percent of CDBG funds must be used for activities that benefit low- and moderate-income persons. HUD uses special tabulations of Census data to determine areas where at least 51% of households have incomes at or below 80% of the area median income (AMI). This dataset and map service contains the following layer.
Low Vacancy Areas - Set-Aside Tenant Protection Vouchers

The Department of Housing and Urban Development identifies low-vacancy areas for purposes of funding the Tenant-Protection Vouchers (TPVs) set-aside for certain at-risk households in low-vacancy areas. The Department has set low-vacancy areas at the county level. Low-vacancy areas are set at the county level using occupancy rates for public housing and multifamily assisted properties. Occupancy data at the project level are obtained from the most recent Picture of Subsidized Households Report. For the purposes of the TPV set-aside, a low-vacancy area is defined to be an area with an occupancy rate for public housing and multifamily assisted properties greater than or equal to 90 percent.
Low Transportation Cost Index

The Low Transportation Cost Index is based on estimates of transportation expenses for a 3-person single-parent family earning 50% of the median income for renters in the surrounding region (i.e. Core-Based Statistical Area). The estimates come from the Location Affordability Index (LAI). The data correspond to those for household type 6 as noted in the LAI data dictionary. More specifically, among this household type, we model transportation costs as a percent of income for renters. Neighborhoods are defined as census tracts. The LAI data do not contain transportation cost information for Puerto Rico.
Location Affordability Index v.3

The Location Affordability Index (LAI) helps to better understand the combined cost of housing and transportation. First launched by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Department of Transportation (DOT) in November 2013, the LAI provides ubiquitous, standardized household housing and transportation cost estimates for all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Because what is affordable is different for everyone, users can choose among eight household profiles—which vary by household income, size, and number of commuters—and see the impact of the built environment on affordability in a given location while holding household demographics constant.
Location Affordability Index v 2.0

The Location Affordability Index (LAI) helps to better understand the combined cost of housing and transportation. First launched by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Department of Transportation (DOT) in November 2013, the LAI provides ubiquitous, standardized household housing and transportation cost estimates at the Census block-group level for the majority of the populated area of the United States. Because what is affordable is different for everyone, users can choose among eight household profiles—which vary by household income, size, and number of commuters—and see the impact of the built environment on affordability in a given neighborhood location while holding household demographics constant.

The QWI are a set of economic indicators including employment, job creation, earnings, and other measures of employment flows.
Limited Denial of Participation

A Limited Denial of Participation (LDP) is an action taken by a HUD Field Office or the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Single Family (DASSF) or Multifamily (DASMF) Housing which excludes a party from further participation in a HUD program area. The scope of the LDP is limited to the geographic area of the office which sent the notice to the party. DASSF & DASMF LDPs are effective nationwide unless otherwise noted. An LDP generally expires in one year. A HUD
Jobs Proximity Index 2020

The Jobs Proximity Index quantifies the accessibility of a given residential neighborhood (Census Block Group) as a function of its distance to all job locations within a CBSA, with larger employment centers weighted more heavily. Specifically, a gravity model is used, where the accessibility (Ai) of a given residential block- group is a summary description of the distance to all job locations, with the distance from any single job location positively weighted by the size of employment (job opportunities) at that location and inversely weighted by the labor supply (competition) to that location.

Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Performance Profiles

HOPWA Performance Profiles are generated quarterly for all agencies receiving HOPWA formula or competitive grants. Performance Profiles are available at the national level and by individual grantee. Competitive grantees may have multiple grants at a given time, therefore some competitive grantees have more than one report per year. For a given year, the most recent quarterly report replaces the previous quarterly report. The national HOPWA performance profiles represent data as received by HUD HQ. Under the Consolidated Plan process, at the end of that program year, formula grantees compile information on housing outputs and client outcomes from all project sponsors and submit a HOPWA grantee summary (within 90 days) to HUD's area field office and the HQ Office of HIV/AIDS Housing. The HOPWA section is also part of their CAPER report that provides public information on their formula program accomplishments. Grantees also report related project and client data in a HOPWA beneficiary worksheet (pending related enhancements to IDIS for this information) on the assistance provided to beneficiaries during this operating period. Similarly, HOPWA competitive renewal grants report at the end of each of their contract years in Annual Progress Reports (APR). Program operating years vary by grant. By contrast, data on expenditures is tracked in a live manner, based on current disbursements filed with the Department's accounting systems. Note: Data collection and validation actions are pending with some reports. Profiles with no data mean that the grantee has yet to submit their performance report.
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Grantee Areas

The Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program is the only Federal program dedicated to address housing needs for low-income persons who are living with HIV/AIDS and their families. Funds are distributed to states and cities by formula allocations and made available as part of the area's Consolidated Plan. In addition, some projects are selected in national competitions to serve as service delivery models or operate in non-formula areas. Grantees partner with nonprofit organizations and housing agencies to provide housing and support to beneficiaries.

The Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program funds are distributed to states and cities by formula allocations and made available as part of the area's Consolidated Plan. Persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families may require housing that provides emergency, transitional, or long-term affordable solutions. In addition, some projects are selected in national competitions to serve as service delivery models or operate in non-formula areas. Grantees partner with nonprofit organizations and housing agencies to provide housing and support to beneficiaries.
Housing Choice Vouchers by Tract

This service provides spatial data and information for Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) recipients aggregated to 2020 U.S. Census Tract geography. The HCV Program assists very low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled in obtaining decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market. Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) receive federal funds from HUD to administer the voucher program, and housing subsidies are paid to the landlord directly by the PHA on behalf of the participating family. The voucher recipient remains responsible for paying any difference that exists between the actual rent charged by the landlord and the amount subsidized by the program. Voucher recipients are responsible for finding a suitable housing unit where the owner agrees to rent under the program.
Housing Affordability Data System (HADS)

The Housing Affordability Data System (HADS) is a set of files derived from the 1985 and later national American Housing Survey (AHS) and the 2002 and later Metro AHS. This system categorizes housing units by affordability and households by income, with respect to the Adjusted Median Income, Fair Market Rent (FMR), and poverty income. It also includes housing cost burden for owner and renter households. These files have been the basis for the worst case needs tables since 2001. The data files are available for public use, since they were derived from AHS public use files and the published income limits and FMRs. These dataset give the community of housing analysts the opportunity to use a consistent set of affordability measures. The most recent year HADS is available as a Public Use File (PUF) is 2013. For 2015 and beyond, HADS is only available as an IUF and can no longer be released on a PUF. Those seeking access to more recent data should reach to the listed point of contact.
Homeownership Centers

This service denotes the service areas for HUD's Homeownership Centers (HOCs) which help insure single family Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgages, and oversee the selling of HUD homes. Processing for much of the Single Family FHA mortgages is centralized into one of four Homeownership Centers (HOC) located in  Atlanta, Philadelphia, Denver, and Santa Ana; each supporting specific geographic region. Although most questions are handled by the FHA Resource Center (not the HOC) for immediate acknowledgement and tracking, certain case specific issues will subsequently be referred to the appropriate center.
HUD-Insured Multifamily Properties

Multifamily Housing receiving insured financing through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). The FHA insured Multifamily Housing portfolio consists primarily of rental housing properties with five or more dwelling units such as apartments or town houses, but can also be nursing homes, hospitals, elderly housing, mobile home parks, retirement service centers, and occasionally vacant land. Please note that this dataset overlaps the Multifamily Properties Assisted layer. The Multifamily property locations represent the approximate location of the property.
HUD-Insured Hospitals

The Office of Healthcare Programs (OHP), previously known as the Office of Insured Health Care Facilities, is located within the Office of Housing and administers the FHA healthcare program, the Section 242 Mortgage Insurance for Hospitals. This program enables the affordable financing and refinancing of healthcare facility projects nationwide. FHA's healthcare programs are integral to HUDs community development mission. By reducing the cost of capital needed by hospitals to finance the construction, renovation, acquisition, or refinancing of facilities, this program improves access to quality healthcare and work to decrease overall healthcare costs. To learn more about the Section 242 Mortgage Insurance for Hospitals program, please visit the following website: https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/federal_housing_administration/healthcare_facilities/section_242
HUD Program Income Limits

Income limits used to determine the income eligibility of applicants for assistance under three programs authorized by the National Housing Act. These programs are the Section 221(d)(3) Below Market Interest Rate (BMIR) rental program, the Section 235 program, and the Section 236 program. These income limits are listed by dollar amount and family size, and they are effective on the date issued. Due to the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-289), Income Limits used to determine qualification levels as well as set maximum rental rates for projects funded with tax credits authorized under section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and projects financed with tax exempt housing bonds issued to provide qualified residential rental development under section 142 of the Code (hereafter referred to as Multifamily Tax Subsidy Projects (MTSPs)) are now calculated and presented separately from the Section 8 income limits.
HUD GIS Boundary Files

The HUD GIS Boundary Files are intended to supplement boundary files available from the U.S. Census Bureau. The files are for community planners interested in working with census tract and block group data that splits by jurisdiction boundaries (summary levels 080, 090, and 091). The GIS shape files are most helpful when linked with census tract and block group data downloaded from the census standard tabulation data, CDBG low/mod area data (summary level 090), or the CHAS 2000 data (summary levels 080 and 091).
HUD Field Office Locations

This dataset denotes the location and pertinent information for HUD's Regional Field Offices. HUD is organized into 10 Regions where each Region is managed by a Regional Administrator, who also oversees the Regional Office. Each Field Office within a Region is managed by a Field Office Director, who reports to the Regional Administrator. There is at least one HUD Field Office in every State and a total of 10 Regional Offices. Staff who answer the main office telephone will be able to respond to or direct your calls to the appropriate person.

Each Field Office within a Region is managed by a Field Office Director, who reports to the Regional Administrator. There is at least one HUD Field Office in every State and a total of 10 Regional Offices. Staff who answer the main office telephone will be able to respond to or direct your calls to the appropriate person.
Sandy Damage Estimates by Block Group

This dataset denotes Sandy Damage Estimates Based on FEMA Individual Assistance (IA) Registrant Inspection Data. A FEMA housing inspection for renters is used to assess personal property loss and for owners to assess damage to their home as well as personal property. This inspection is done to determine eligibility for FEMA Individual Assistance. For both rental and owner inspections, if the property has flood damage the inspector measures the height of the flooding. They indicate the highest floor of the flooding (for example, Basement, 1st floor, 2nd floor, etc…) and the extent of the flooding in that room. In addition, for the units without flooding, HUD has estimated minor/major/severe damage based on the damage inspection estimates for real property (owner) and personal property (renter).
HUD Entitlement Grantee Jurisdiction - National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA)

Established in 1974, the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program provides annual grant funding to local and state governments to address a wide range of unique community development needs.

HUD determines the amount of each grant by using a formula comprised of several measures of community need, including the extent of poverty, population, housing density, age of housing, and population growth relative to other metropolitan areas.

The annual CDBG appropriation is allocated among states and local jurisdictions categorized as "entitlement" and "non-entitlement" communities respectively. Entitlement communities are comprised of the principal cities of Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs); metropolitan cities with populations of at least 50,000; and qualified urban counties with a population of 200,000 or more (excluding the populations of entitlement cities). Non-entitlement communities receive CDBG funding from their respective states in accordance with requirements that state.
HOME Rent Limits

In accordance with 24 CFR Part 92.252, HUD provides maximum HOME rent limits. The maximum HOME rents are the lesser of:  The fair market rent for existing housing for comparable units in the area as established by HUD under 24 CFR 888.111 or A rent that does not exceed 30 percent of the adjusted income of a family whose annual income equals 65 percent of the median income for the area, as determined by HUD, with adjustments for number of bedrooms in the unit. The HOME rent limits provided by HUD will include average occupancy per unit and adjusted income assumptions.
HOME Program Grantee Areas

This dataset denotes the boundaries of HOME Program Entitlement Communities and State Administered Non-Entitlement grantees. The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investments Partnership Program (HOME) are federal block grants distributed via formula to states and local governments. 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.

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.
HOME Participating Jurisdictions Vacant Units Reports

This report is an MS Excel spreadsheet broken up by state, similar to the HOME Participating Jurisdiction's Open Activities Reports. The purpose of the HOME Participating Jurisdictions Vacant Units Reports is to help HOME Participating Jurisdictions identify units in HOME projects that are marked vacant in the Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS). If the vacant units are part of a completed HOME IDIS activity, occupancy and beneficiary data should be entered for these units.
Revitalization Areas by Block Group

This service provides location and program data for Revitalization Areas by Block Group. Revitalization Areas are HUD-designated geographic areas authorized by Congress under provisions of the National Housing Act intended to promote "revitalization, through expanded homeownership opportunities.” HUD-owned single-family properties located in a Revitalization Areas are eligible for discounted sale through special programs, including the Asset Control Areas (ACA) Program, and the Good Neighbor Next Door (GNND) Program. Revitalization Areas are determined by comparing a block group's median household income and home ownership rate to the respective rates of the surrounding area. If the block group is located in a CBSA Metropolitan area, then the metro area is used. However, if the block group is located in a Non-Metro area, then the state rate is used.
HOME Participating Jurisdictions Open Activities Reports

This report is an MS Excel spreadsheet broken up by state. Participating Jurisdictions can use this report to view open activities in IDIS including activities with 100 percent of the funds drawn and with a status code of FD, or final draw. The HOME final rule at 24 CFR 92.502(d)(1) requires Participating Jurisdictions to enter project completion data into IDIS within 120 days of making a final draw for a project (see HOMEfires Vol. 6 No. 1, August 2005). In addition, Participating Jurisdictions can view activities that have been open (OP) for several years with little or no HOME funds drawn. These projects, if not progressing, should be cancelled. Likewise, Field Offices can use this report as a desk-monitoring tool to view each Participating Jurisdictions open activities in need of completion or cancellation in IDIS.
