Student Resources

Welcome,

This area of the HUD USER website is devoted to the needs of students. Please explore links in the icon below or in the sidebar to discover everything that HUD USER has to offer.

Data Sets

HUD USER provides students with original, electronic data sets described in the booklet, Data Sets Available from HUD USER. This includes the American Housing Survey, the largest, regular national housing sample survey in the United States. This research tool quantifies apartments and single-family, mobile, and vacant homes; family composition and income; housing and neighborhood quality; housing costs, equipment, fuels, and sizes; and recent movers.

Breakthroughs

Breakthroughs, the e-newsletter of HUD’s Regulatory Barriers Clearinghouse, disseminates information on existing state and local regulatory actions that have an impact on the production and conservation of affordable housing. Breakthroughs reports on strategies and resources that support affordable housing through state and local regulatory reform. To subscribe to Breakthroughs, please click here.
