Public Housing Authorities - National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA)

Public Housing was established to provide decent and safe rental housing for eligible low-income families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. Public housing comes in all sizes and types, from scattered single family houses to high-rise apartments for elderly families. There are approximately 1.2 million households living in public housing units, managed by some 3,300 housing agencies (HAs). HUD administers Federal aid to local housing agencies (HAs) that manage the housing for low-income residents at rents they can afford. HUD furnishes technical and professional assistance in planning, developing and managing these developments. Public Housing Authorities are depicted as the physical location.
Public Housing Authorities

This dataset denotes Public Housing Authority (PHA) office locations, contact information, and program availability. Public Housing was established to provide decent and safe rental housing for eligible low-income families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. Public housing comes in all sizes and types, from scattered single family houses to high-rise apartments for elderly families. There are approximately 1.2 million households living in public housing units, managed by over 3,300 housing agencies (HAs). HUD administers Federal aid to local housing agencies (HAs) that manage the housing for low-income residents at rents they can afford. HUD furnishes technical and professional assistance in planning, developing and managing these developments.
Public Housing Agency

The dataset contains current data on low rent and Section 8 units in PHA's administered by HUD. The Section 8 Rental Voucher Program increases affordable housing choices for very low-income households by allowing families to choose privately owned rental housing. Through the Section 8 Rental Voucher Program, the administering housing authority issues a voucher to an income-qualified household, which then finds a unit to rent. If the unit meets the Section 8 quality standards, the PHA then pays the landlord the amount equal to the difference between 30 percent of the tenant's adjusted income (or 10 percent of the gross income or the portion of welfare assistance designated for housing) and the PHA-determined payment standard for the area. The rent must be reasonable compared with similar unassisted units.
Promise Zones

This dataset outlines the locations of communities participating in the Promise Zone Program. Promise Zones are high poverty communities where the federal government partners with local leaders to increase economic activity, improve educational opportunities, leverage private investment, reduce violent crime, enhance public health and address other priorities identified by the community. Current Promise Zones were selected through three rounds of national competition, in which applicants demonstrated a consensus vision for their community and its residents, the capacity to carry it out, and a shared commitment to specific, measurable results.
Picture of Subsidized Households

Picture of Subsidized Households describes the nearly 5 million households living in HUD-subsidized housing in the United States. Assistance provided under HUD programs falls into three categories: public housing, tenant-based, and privately owned, project-based. Picture provides characteristics of assisted housing units and residents, summarized at the national, state, public housing agency (PHA), project,census tract, county, Core-Based Statistical Area and city levels.

Picture of Subsidized Households does not cover other housing subsidy programs, such as those of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Housing Service, unless they also receive subsidies referenced above. Other programs such as Indian Housing, HOME and Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) are also excluded.
Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing (PRO Housing) Priority Geography Map

This dataset denotes the Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing (PRO Housing) Priority Geography Map. Under the Need rating factor, applicants will be awarded ten (10) points if their application primarily serves a ‘priority geography’. Priority geography means a geography that has an affordable housing need greater than a threshold calculation for one of three measures. The threshold calculation is determined by the need of the 90th-percentile jurisdiction (top 10%) for each factor as computed comparing only jurisdictions with greater than 50,000 population. Threshold calculations are done at the county and place level and applied respectively to county and place applicants. An application can also quality as a priority geography if it serves a geography that scores in the top 5% of its State for the same three measures.
Opportunity Zones

This service provides spatial data for all U.S. Decennial Census tracts designated as Qualified Opportunity Zones (QOZs) for purposes of §§ 1400Z–1 and 1400Z–2 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). Revenue Procedure 2018–16, 2018–9 I.R.B. 383, provided guidance to State CEOs on the eligibility criteria and procedure for making these nominations.  Section 1400Z–1(b)(1)(B) of the Code provides that after the Secretary receives notice of the nominations, the Secretary may certify the nominations and designate the nominated tracts as Zones. Section 1400Z–2 of the Code allows the temporary deferral of inclusion in gross income for certain realized gains to the extent that corresponding amounts are timely invested in a qualified opportunity fund.  Investments in a qualified opportunity fund may also be eligible for additional tax benefits.
Office of Hearings and Appeals Decisions and Orders

The HUD Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) is an independent judicial office within the Office of the Secretary. This office provides information on substantive and precedential decisions that it has issued. The OHA is headed by the Chief Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) who supervises administrative judges (AJ) and the professional and administrative support staffs. 

The HUD AJs conduct reviews of administrative wage garnishment cases under 24 C.F.R. § 17.170 and 31 C.F.R. § 285.11(f); and cases involving administrative offset of various federal payments due debtors who have a past-due debt obligation to the Department under 24 C.F.R. § 17.150-17.161. The AJs also decide salary offset cases for agencies outside of HUD. Decisions of the AJs in offset cases are final agency decisions. In addition, the Administrative Judges decide cases relating to limited denial of participation, debarment, and suspension under 2 C.F.R. Part 180 and 24 C.F.R. Part 26, Subpart A. 

The ALJs conduct independent and impartial hearings pursuant to numerous authorizing federal statutes and agency regulations. The most frequent cases involve: allegations of violations of the Fair Housing Act (civil rights); allegations of fraud in HUD administered programs; and allegations of failure to comply with requirements of HUD subsidized programs.
Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) Snapshots

NSP Snapshot Reports provide a synopsis of financial performance of NSP grantees. The snapshots provide data on commitments, drawdowns, activity types, and program income.

These snapshots are intended to increase transparency to the public about the progress of NSP. Snapshots are posted quarterly.
Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) Quarterly Performance Reports (QPRs)

NSP Quarterly Performance Reports (QPRs) provide information on how grantees are using NSP funds. QPRs contain project names, activity descriptions, project locations, national objectives, funds budgeted and expended, funding sources, numbers of properties and housing units, beginning and ending dates of activities, and numbers of low- and moderate income persons or households benefiting from the use of NSP funds. QPRs are submitted via the Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting (DRGR) System and reviewed and approved by HUD before posting.
Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) Production Reports

NSP Production Reports contain cumulative data on units assisted with NSP funds. An NSP grantee reports on the accomplishment of an activity when it meets an End Use, such as providing down payment assistance to an eligible household, demolition of a blighted property, or acquiring and rehabbing a foreclosed property and selling it to an eligible owner occupant.
These reports include three Summary Reports of aggregated data for all NSP1, NPS2 and NSP3 grantees, as well as individual state reports for the NSP1 and NSP3 programs. The NSP2 Summary Report does not include State and Local Government data, as NSP2 funding was awarded through a competitive process that includes non-profit organizations. It should also be noted that where the data indicate State vs. Local Government, State refers to the state grantees while Local Government refers to the municipal and urban county grantees.
Local Employment Dynamics (LED) for HOME Grantee Areas

This dataset denotes Local Employment Dynamics (LED) data relative to Grantee areas for the Home Investment Partnership (HOME) Program. 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.
Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) Investment Cluster (NIC) Reports

The NSP Investment Cluster (NIC) study analyzes how markets treated with a concentration of NSP investment have changed over time compared to similar markets that have only minimally or not been touched by NSP. These findings are then displayed in a series of maps and reports at the cluster level and at the grantee level. NIC cluster level maps and reports compare variables such as home sales, vacancies, demographic characteristics, and FHA lending and REO. NIC grantee reports provide a summary of NSP activity and NIC performance scores by activity. These tools can assist grantees and HUD in understanding how markets in which they are investing are changing over time, and how certain types of investment might affect NSP target areas.
Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) Activity by Tract

This dataset denotes Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) activity by 2010 U.S. Census Tracts. Congress established the NSP to allow for the purchase and redevelopment of foreclosed and neglected residential properties in an effort to stabilize communities suffering from foreclosures and abandonment.

Multifamily Housing Physical Inspection Scores

HUD's Real Estate Assessment Center conducts physical property inspections of properties that are owned, insured or subsidized by HUD, including public housing and multifamily assisted housing. About 20,000 such inspections are conducted each year to ensure that assisted families have housing that is decent, safe, sanitary and in good repair. This page provides a full historical view of the results of those inspections, providing point-in-time property scores. Results are available for download as a comma-delimited dataset. Separate datasets are available for public housing and for multifamily assisted properties. The results represent the inspections conducted from 2001 through January 2015. The dataset includes property identifiers and location information. 

Detailed descriptions of the inspection processes can be found in Federal Register notices 66 FR 59084 for public housing and 65 FR77230 for Office of Housing programs. 

Making these inspection details available will enable researchers, advocacy groups and the general public to 
 1) better understand the physical condition of the HUD-assisted housing stock, as well as changes in the stock over time;
 2) hold providers accountable for housing quality; and 
3) plan for future affordable housing needs.
