I don’t believe the plan includes recording, but we do intend to issue a summary document about the discussion.

    It would be great if some of these sessions could be recorded and archived so that others could access this content. I'd like to feel like the AHS and its data was a little more accessible and understandable.

    Thanks.

      The American Housing Survey (AHS) will draw an entirely new sample for the 2015 data collection. This will be the first time the sample has been redrawn since 1985. We are taking the opportunity of the new sample to significantly redesign the AHS content, and we are seeking user input about how the survey should be changed. One component of that effort is a conference to be held from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on May 9, 2013, in the Lowes L’Enfant Plaza Hotel in Washington, DC.

      The agenda for the conference is shown below. Space is quite limited. If you wish to attend, please register as soon as possible at https://www.huduser.gov/register/ahs2013/index.html.
