(In role of contractor supporting HUD for the AHS....)

        A new version(1.10)of the AHS codebook is available on the HUD USER web site.  It can be found on this page:https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/ahs.html

        There are only very minor changes in the codebook.  These include:

-      Documentation of theWGT90GEO variablewhich wasjust added to the2001data, to provide weights based on 1990 Census Geography

-       Documentation of the JRAS variable which was missing
-      Correction of a few typos and misspellings.

Please let me know if you spot anything or if there are confusing sections.  I expect the next major release of the codebook to be in the spring and will include information on the 2002 MSA data.

        The 2001 AHS wall charts – a popular item for wall decorating– shouldbe arriving at HUD USER shortly.  They’ve been printed, HUD has them, but it looks like they did not get shipped properly to HUD USER. We’re tracking down where they are.

Another brief message will follow when their arrival is confirmed.
