Public Housing Developments

Data Use: This point layer denotes the general position of Public Housing Developments by providing the location of the building with the largest number of units in a Development’s community, collected by HUD GIS. HUD administers Federal aid to local Housing Agencies (HAs) that manage housing for low-income residents at rents they can afford. Likewise, HUD furnishes technical and professional assistance in planning, developing, and managing the buildings that comprise low-income housing developments. This dataset provides the location, and resident characteristics of public housing developments. The sites were filtered for sites that intersect 2019 City of Dallas Census Tracts. These locations are not considered as one of several types of community assets that may support current and future agriculture. However, the layer is used in the webmap, COD Social Health UA to view the proximity of HUD housing developments with potential urban agriculture sites. Closely related, HUD building sites (not developments) are included as potential urban agriculture locations on page 43 of the Comprehensive Urban Agriculture Plan.
