This Notice also lists the following
information:
Title of Proposal: 2013 American
Housing Survey.
OMB Control Number: 2528–0017.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
American Housing Survey (AHS)
provides a periodic measure of the size
and composition of the country’s
housing inventory. Title 12, United
States Code, Sections 1701Z–1, 1701Z–
2(g), and 1710Z–10a mandates the
collection of this information.
Like the previous surveys, the 2013
AHS will collect data on subjects such
as the amount and types of changes in
the inventory, the physical condition of
the inventory, the characteristics of the
occupants, housing costs, the persons
eligible for and beneficiaries of assisted
housing, and the number and
characteristics of vacancies. There are
plans to collect additional data on
people who had to temporarily move in
with other households, neighborhood
conditions, working from home, ability
to travel via public transportation,
bicycling, or walking, energy efficiency,
and emergency preparedness. Questions
about potential health and safety
hazards and home modifications made
to assist occupants living with
disabilities that were added to the 2011
survey will not be included in the 2013
survey. A supplemental sample of
housing units will be selected for
approximately 31 metropolitan areas.
The supplemental sample will be
combined with existing sample in these
areas in order to produce metropolitan
estimates using the National data.
Policy analysts, program managers,
budget analysts, and Congressional staff
use AHS data to advise executive and
legislative branches about housing
conditions and the suitability of public
policy initiatives. Academic researchers
and private organizations also use AHS
data in efforts of specific interest and

concern to their respective
communities.
The Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) needs the
AHS data for two important uses.
1. With the data, policy analysts can
monitor the interaction among housing
needs, demand and supply, as well as
changes in housing conditions and
costs, to aid in the development of
housing policies and the design of
housing programs appropriate for
different target groups, such as first-time
home buyers and the elderly.
2. With the data, HUD can evaluate,
monitor, and design HUD programs to
improve efficiency and effectiveness.
