We recently posted updated versions of the 2005 and 2007 national American Housing Survey datasets. Unfortunately, we forgot that the Census Bureau has recently started using a different SAS procedure to produce its SAS transport files (HUD.XPT). A consequence was that the file flattener programs on our web site did not work with the updated datasets. We have now posted updated programs. You can download them from the HUD USER web pages for the respective survey years:

My thanks to the AHS data users at the University of Pennsylvania who brought this to our attention.
