The Division of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) provides funding to developers to build and maintain affordable housing units throughout the city. This dataset includes all DHCD-funded housing projects completed since 1994 for which there is data.

Government Code section 65400 requires that each city, county, or city and county, including charter cities, prepare an annual progress report (APR) on the status of the housing element of its general plan and progress in its implementation. This dataset includes information reported to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by local jurisdictions on their APR form. Additional information about annual progress reports (APR), including the form, instructions, and definition can be found on HCD’s website here: https://www.hcd.ca.gov/planning-and-community-development/annual-progress-reports. 11/14/2024 UPDATE: The weekly update of this dataset has been paused due to HCD's migration to a new database system; we are aiming to resume the weekly updates sometime during 1st quarter 2025.

The NYC Department of City Planning’s (DCP) Housing Database contains all NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) approved housing construction and demolition jobs filed or completed in NYC since January 1, 2010. It includes the three primary construction job types that add or remove residential units: new buildings, major alterations, and demolitions, and can be used to determine the change in legal housing units across time and space. Records in the Housing Database Project-Level Files are geocoded to the greatest level of precision possible, subject to numerous quality assurance and control checks, recoded for usability, and joined to other housing data sources relevant to city planners and analysts. Data are updated semiannually, at the end of the second and fourth quarters of each year. Please see DCP’s annual Housing Production Snapshot summarizing findings from the 21Q4 data release here. Additional Housing and Economic analyses are also available. All previously released versions of this data are available at BYTES of the BIG APPLE- Archive.
