An Overview of Historical Reports on HUD User


The Historical and Archived Reports database at HUDUser.gov includes a trove of 1,750 scanned historical publications, many of which pre-date the founding of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. These documents, which date back as far as 1910, concern a wide variety of topics, including city planning, slum clearance efforts, low-income housing, architecture, design, landlord-tenant relations, building technology, and much more.

Message from PD&R Leadership:
A 2020 Update to the Research Roadmap
In the leadership message, Assistant Secretary for PD&R Seth D. Appleton discusses the HUD Research Roadmap: 2020 Update. The HUD Research Roadmap is a guidance publication that shapes the trajectory of HUD's evidence-building activities, and is designed to be rewritten every 5 years. For the 2020 update, HUD solicited stakeholder input and received over 600 comments, which PD&R distilled into 11 research priority areas. The HUD Research Roadmap: 2020 Update will be available on HUDUser.gov soon.

In Practice:
Putting Families First in the Fight Against Homelessness
Opened in 2020 in the Mount Baker neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, the Gardner House and Allen Family Center provide housing and supportive services to individuals and families facing homelessness. The eight-story building has 95 housing units, open to low-income households and families coming out of homelessness, and a ground-floor, 8,000-square-foot family center, where residents and community members can seek services.
