HUD groks GIS for subsidized housing

This is one of those occasional cross-posts I make to draw due attention to LSNC’s Race Equity Project (REP), where our colleague ElektroMoose (aka Eric Schultheis) and resident GIS czar at REP reports on mapping HUD subsidized housing, an interesting innovation at the HUD User – Data Sets site. The REP post provides a snapshot of how it all works and how well. If you take a second to view and scroll down the HUD’s Picture of Subsidized Households – 2000 article discussed by Eric, you find all the datasets you need and ArcGIS-specific instructions on creating maps with those datasets.

And Eric’s latest post is another reminder that the REP is available to help other legal services folks get in the swim with GIS mapping. The ElectraMoose is at your service, people. As the ‘Mooser himself says, “Feel free to contact us if you need some help.”
