WEB Information Access Menu

Updated by NAHIM on January 16, 2004

In recent years more public housing information has become available on-line from HUD and other organizations. The only problem many of us have is quickly finding the information we are looking for, because it is located in a variety of different Web sites, and we have to locate the Web address to use. Listed below are a variety of topics that we hope will make it easy for you to find the desired information.

1. Information about individual PHAs and communities:
    Basic name & Address data - http://www.hud.gov/offices/pih/pha/contacts
    Detailed Data about PHA - https://pic.hud.gov/pic/haprofiles/haprofilelist.asp
       Includes size (# of units), general performance rating, location (address and congressional district),
       and contacts (Board chairperson, Executive Director, Mayor) and phone numbers
    Income limit data for your community - http://www.huduser.org/datasets/il.html
    Fair market rents for your community - http://www.huduser.org/datasets/fmr.html

2. HUD Regulatory Information Resources.
    Recent Federal Register listings http://webapps1.hud.gov/icbts
    Federal Register notices from past 2 weeks - http://www.hudclips.org/cgi/index.cgi
        This option  often brings up entries from the Dept of Agriculture and other federal agencies as  well as HUD.
    PIH Notices from 2003 http://www.hudclips.org/cgi/index.cgi
    HUD Forms - http://www.hudclips.org/sub_nonhud/html/forms.htmi  

3. HUD Technical Requirements and Resources
    HUD's PIH Information Center http://www.hud.gov/offices/pih/systems/pic
          To retrieve information from the PIC Information Center you will need to enter
           a user name and password.
    PIC Help Newsbrief-Each month http://www.hud.gov/offices/pih/systems/pic
       (then select from right column)
    HUD's Master List of Error Codes for the 50058 form.  This document is available in two forms.  The
        original HUD document in PDF format is available as
                           http://www.hud.gov/offices/pih/systems/pic/50058/50058errorcodes_03.pdf
      Because coverting a PDF document is occasionally a task to be avoided.  NAHIM has converted the
            listing into a straight text form which you can view and download at:
