Constructing Unit-Level Addresses in the Public and Indian Housing Information Center

The purpose of this paper is to summarize the process of constructing U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) public housing unit-level addresses. Unit-level addresses were constructed from building entrance addresses and door numbers contained within the Inventory Management System (IMS)/Public and Indian Housing Information Center (PIC) system and from information contained within HUD Form 50058. The project to construct unit-level addresses was undertaken because unit-level addresses are necessary for linking public housing administrative records to the American Housing Survey (AHS), the American Community Survey, and other data sources.
