HUD USER provides interested researchers with access to the original electronic data sets generated by PD&R sponsored data collection efforts, including the American Housing Survey, HUD median family income limits, as well as microdata from research initiatives on topics such as housing discrimination, the HUD-insured multifamily housing stock, and the public housing population.
This guide is intended to serve as a helpful reference tool for the data sets available from the HUD USER Clearinghouse, and on our website at www.HUDUSER.org. We have provided a brief description of each data set along with its Web address, release data, format(s), and the time frame to which the data applies.
in Atlanta drängten ca. 30.000 Menschen mit Wohnungsproblemen zusammen, um sich auf einer Warteliste(!) für ein diesbzgl. öffentl. Hilfsprogramm eintragen zu lassen. Das führte zu Verletzten (auch wegen der Hitze) und zu Sachschäden. Schließlich mussten Polizisten die Berechtigungsscheine ausgeben. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/third-world-america
The Existing Homes Alliance aims to bring a practical focus to the need for an ambitious programme of low carbon refurbishment across the UK’s housing stock, in line with the UK's need to cut carbon emissions by 80% by 2050
Launched on 1 April 2006, BERRs Low Carbon Buildings Programme Phase 1 will run over four years and replaces the previous DTI Clear Skies and Solar PV grant programmes. Open to householders, public, not for profit and commercial organisations across the UK (except the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man), the programme will demonstrate how energy efficiency and microgeneration can work hand in hand to create low carbon buildings.
