AHS Type of Ownership (was AHS Voucher Coverage...)

>>My names is Vernon Oakes and I’m the President of the National Association of Housing Cooperatives (NAHC). Does AHS distinguish the type of homeownership (single family, cooperative, condo or ...)? If no, will they consider doing so and if yes, how can I get a listing of the housing cooperatives in the US? <<

Mr. Oakes:

Yes, the AHS does collect data on structure type and on coop/condo status. However, since AHS is a housing-unit level survey, it does not count cooperative associations. It does count the number of units which are coops. You might want to contact the Foundation for Community Association Research, http://www.cairf.org/.
