NLIHC and the Public and Affordable Housing Research Corporation (PAHRC) released an update to the National Housing Preservation Database (NHPD). For the first time, the update includes data on over 600 national Housing Trust Fund properties. The update also includes refreshed data on properties assisted by Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA), Section 202 Direct Loans, HUD Insured Mortgages, HOME Rental Assistance, Public Housing, Section 515 and 514 Rural Housing, and Section 538.
Created by NLIHC and PAHRC in 2011, the NHPD is the only fully deduplicated, address-level inventory of federally assisted rental housing in the U.S. The NHPD provides information on contract expiration dates, loan maturity dates, recent physical inspection scores, number of units, type of owner, and other property and subsidy characteristics to assist tenants, affordable housing developers, and legal aid service providers in identifying federally assisted properties at risk of loss from the affordable housing stock. More broadly, the NHPD is used by researchers, policy planners, and advocates to study federally assisted housing and preservation issues.
