HUD Consolidated Planning/CHAS Data

Each year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) receives custom tabulations of American Community Survey (ACS) data from the U.S. Census Bureau. These data, known as the "CHAS" data (Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy), demonstrate the extent of housing problems and housing needs, particularly for low income households. The CHAS data are used by local governments to plan how to spend HUD funds, and may also be used by HUD to distribute grant funds.

每年，美国住房与城市发展部（U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, HUD）均会从美国人口普查局获取美国社区调查（American Community Survey, ACS）的定制汇总数据。此类数据被称为‘综合住房负担能力战略（Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy, CHAS）’数据，能够展现住房问题与住房需求的严重程度及覆盖范围，尤其聚焦低收入家庭所面临的相关情况。CHAS数据既可被地方政府用于规划美国住房与城市发展部拨款的使用方案，也可供美国住房与城市发展部自身用于分配赠款资金。
