Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6600 N 29E
The HUDRD "Exploring the Feasibility of Linking Eviction Records to Administrative Databases for HUD's Housing Choice Voucher Program" opportunity is a HUD research funding notice (NOFO) offering up to $500,000 total to support one or more cooperative agreements focused on understanding court-ordered evictions among households that participate, or previously participated, in the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program. HUD is looking for a study that can be carried out in one or more U.S. geographic areas where eviction court records are readily available and usable for research. The larger purpose is practical: HUD wants to learn whether eviction court data can be reliably connected to HUD's own administrative tenant records, and whether this approach could be used to monitor evictions in the voucher program over time.
A central requirement is testing the feasibility and quality of linking court-ordered eviction records with HUD administrative data for HCV tenants, particularly information collected through the HUD-50058 form. Applicants are expected to evaluate how well matches can be made between the two data sources, what identifiers are available, what the likely match rates are, where errors or bias might occur, and what limitations exist because court records vary widely by jurisdiction in content, format, and completeness. The work is meant to move beyond theory and show, with real-world records, what is possible and what is not.
Beyond linkage feasibility, HUD wants the project to quantify the incidence of court-ordered evictions among households receiving HCV assistance and among households that previously received assistance. The NOFO emphasizes the importance of timing, meaning the analysis should look carefully at when an eviction occurred relative to voucher participation (for example, during assistance, shortly after exit, or before entry) rather than treating evictions as a simple yes-or-no outcome. That timing component is important for interpreting what the eviction event might mean in the context of program participation and housing stability.
The opportunity also calls for identifying characteristics associated with evictions among HCV households. The NOFO lists a broad set of characteristics that may be relevant, including household factors, property and landlord factors, public housing authority (PHA) factors, and broader rental market conditions. It also explicitly highlights protected classes and fair housing-related characteristics such as race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), familial status, and disability. In practice, this signals that HUD is interested in whether eviction patterns differ across groups and contexts, and whether linked data could help detect disparities or risk factors that might inform policy or program operations.
A key deliverable is a recommended methodology HUD could use to track evictions among HCV households on an ongoing basis using data linkages. This implies that the selected research should not just produce findings for one location, but should also translate those lessons into a repeatable approach, including guidance on data acquisition, standardization, matching procedures, quality checks, and privacy and confidentiality considerations. HUD notes that the ideal outcome is research that is reproducible and generalizable, meaning the approach should be designed so it could be extended to additional jurisdictions rather than being a one-off analysis dependent on unique local circumstances.
Applicants are directed to review HUD's "Report to Congress on the Feasibility of Creating a National Evictions Database" to understand the broader landscape of eviction data in the U.S., HUD's eviction-related priorities, and known limitations of court data, such as inconsistent recordkeeping, missing information, differences in legal processes, and the fact that not all displacement occurs through a court-ordered eviction. This background is positioned as important context for designing a realistic study and for interpreting results responsibly.
Administratively, this is a discretionary HUD opportunity using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically means HUD expects substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordination on data access, methodological decisions, and interim deliverables). The funding ceiling listed is $500,000, and HUD anticipated up to two awards. The CFDA number is 14.536, and the activity category is Housing. Eligible applicants are broad and include state, county, and local governments; special districts; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); and small businesses. The opportunity was posted May 25, 2022, with an original closing date of July 14, 2022, and applications were due by 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time on the deadline date.Apply for FR 6600 N 29E

FAQs: HUDRD - Exploring the Feasibility of Linking Eviction Records to Administrative Databases for HUD's Housing Choice Voucher Program
What is this HUDRD funding opportunity about?
This HUD research funding notice (NOFO) supports a study to test whether court-ordered eviction records can be reliably linked to HUD administrative records for households that participate, or previously participated, in the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program. The practical goal is to see if HUD could use this linkage approach to monitor evictions in the voucher program over time.
What is the main purpose HUD is trying to achieve?
HUD wants to determine whether eviction court data can be connected to HUD tenant data (especially HUD-50058 information) in a way that is accurate enough to support ongoing tracking and analysis. The project is meant to demonstrate what is feasible using real-world court records, not just a conceptual plan.
How much funding is available?
The total funding ceiling listed is up to $500,000.
How many awards does HUD expect to make?
HUD anticipated up to two awards.
What type of funding instrument is used?
This is a cooperative agreement. That typically indicates HUD expects substantial involvement during the project, such as coordination on data access, methodological decisions, and interim deliverables.
What program and data are the focus of the research?
The study focuses on the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program and on linking court-ordered eviction records to HUD administrative tenant records, particularly information collected through the HUD-50058 form.
What does HUD mean by "court-ordered evictions" in this context?
In this opportunity, the focus is on evictions that appear in eviction court records (court-ordered evictions) and can potentially be measured through those records. The NOFO also notes that not all displacement occurs through a court-ordered eviction, which is an important limitation when interpreting results.
Where can the study be conducted?
The NOFO calls for a study that can be carried out in one or more U.S. geographic areas where eviction court records are readily available and usable for research.
Why does HUD emphasize differences in court records by jurisdiction?
Court records can vary widely by jurisdiction in content, format, and completeness. Those differences can affect whether records can be acquired, standardized, and matched to HUD data, and can also introduce errors, bias, or limitations in what can be concluded.
What is required regarding data linkage feasibility?
A central requirement is to test the feasibility and quality of linking eviction court records with HUD administrative data for HCV tenants. Applicants are expected to assess what identifiers exist in each source, how well matches can be made, likely match rates, potential errors or bias, and jurisdiction-specific limitations.
Is the project expected to use real data rather than theoretical discussion?
Yes. The NOFO emphasizes moving beyond theory and demonstrating, using real-world records, what is possible and what is not when attempting to link court eviction records to HUD administrative data.
What outcomes does HUD want the study to measure besides linkage quality?
Beyond linkage feasibility, HUD wants the study to quantify the incidence of court-ordered evictions among households receiving HCV assistance and among households that previously received assistance.
Does the timing of evictions matter in the analysis?
Yes. The NOFO stresses timing, meaning the study should examine when an eviction occurred relative to voucher participation (such as during assistance, shortly after exit, or before entry) instead of treating eviction as only a yes-or-no outcome.
What types of characteristics should be examined in relation to evictions?
The NOFO calls for identifying characteristics associated with evictions among HCV households. It cites a broad range of potential characteristics, including household factors, property and landlord factors, public housing authority (PHA) factors, and broader rental market conditions.
Does HUD specifically want fair housing and protected class considerations included?
Yes. The NOFO explicitly highlights protected classes and fair housing-related characteristics, including race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), familial status, and disability. This signals interest in whether eviction patterns differ across groups and contexts and whether linked data could help detect disparities or risk factors.
What is a key deliverable expected from the project?
A key deliverable is a recommended methodology that HUD could use to track evictions among HCV households on an ongoing basis using data linkages.
What does HUD mean by a "repeatable" or "generalizable" approach?
HUD is seeking research that is reproducible and generalizable, meaning the study should produce guidance and methods that could be extended to additional jurisdictions rather than being dependent on a unique local setup.
What topics should the recommended methodology cover?
The NOFO indicates the methodology should translate findings into a repeatable approach and include guidance on data acquisition, standardization, matching procedures, quality checks, and privacy and confidentiality considerations.
What background document are applicants directed to review?
Applicants are directed to review HUD's "Report to Congress on the Feasibility of Creating a National Evictions Database" for context on eviction data in the U.S., HUD priorities, and known limitations of court data.
What limitations of court data does HUD flag as important?
HUD notes limitations such as inconsistent recordkeeping, missing information, differences in legal processes, and the fact that not all displacement occurs through a court-ordered eviction.
Who is eligible to apply?
Eligible applicants include: state, county, and local governments; special districts; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); and small businesses.
What is the CFDA number and activity category?
The CFDA number is 14.536, and the activity category is Housing.
When was the opportunity posted and when was it due?
The opportunity was posted May 25, 2022. The original closing date was July 14, 2022, and applications were due by 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time on the deadline date.
Does the NOFO require a specific number of study sites?
The NOFO indicates the study can be carried out in one or more U.S. geographic areas, as long as eviction court records in the selected area(s) are readily available and usable for research.
What is HUD trying to learn about match rates and errors?
HUD expects applicants to evaluate how well matches can be made, what the likely match rates are, and where errors or bias could occur when linking court eviction records and HUD administrative records.
Why is linking to HUD-50058 data emphasized?
The NOFO specifically points to HUD administrative tenant information collected through the HUD-50058 form as a key data source for linkage, analysis of eviction incidence, and understanding characteristics associated with eviction patterns among HCV households.
