HUD and Zillow Hacking for Affordable housing

February 10, 2015 By GISuser

HUD Zillow OpenData Hackathon took place Feb 6-8 – an effort to connect Americans with affordable housing

HUD Zillow OpenData Hackathon

HUD Zillow OpenData Hackathon

In Feb. 2015 HUD teamed up with Zillow (Seattle) to host a hackathon and they provided the data for use. HUD, along with local housing authorities, health care and social service providers, has a strong interest in matching the people it serves with affordable, eligible units, particularly those in locations that give them the greatest chance of succeeding: neighborhoods with access to transit, local retail, good schools, social services, and employment opportunities. The solution was this hackathon, an opportunity for developers to mashup and create apps and services to locate affordable housing. HUD and Zillow supported developers by providing access to a wealth of open data and a geoservice for accessing HUD data.

A number of data products were made available including:

Fair Market Rents
HCV By Tract
HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHES BY TRACT
LOW-INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDITS
Multi-Family Properties
Public Housing Authorities
Public Housing Buildings
Public Housing Developments
Location Affordability Index
Active Housing Counseling Agencies
Seattle Neighborhoods
