PD&R Research

PD&R undertakes studies and issues reports on HUD programs to determine how well they are achieving their objectives and how they can be improved. PD&R also conducts studies and issues reports on housing and community development matters not tied directly to HUD programs. In addition to research reports, PD&R produces case studies, periodicals, and other resources designed to support evidence-based decisionmaking.

In HUD's Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R), our mission is to provide reliable and objective housing research and market data to our constituents, as well as skilled analysis that assists HUD's leadership in making informed policy decisions.

PD&R undertakes various projects and initiatives, sometimes in collaboration with other agencies and private-sector organizations, to further research priorities and goals.

HUDUser publishes a series of periodicals that support PD&R's mission to provide reliable information to researchers, practitioners, advocates, industry groups, foundations, and the general public.
