As you may be aware, poverty, age of housing and overcrowded housing data are no longer collected as part of the decennial Census. This data is now generated from the American Communities Survey. American Communities Survey data will also be used to produce the Low/Moderate Income Summary Data (LMISD) that grantees use for Consolidated Plan purposes, as well as for determining eligible low/moderate income areas for CDBG assistance. The LMISD is a HUD-produced dataset which shows the estimated percentage of low/moderate income residents in each block group, census tract and unit of local government. The new LMISD tabulation will be available sometime in 2012. We anticipate providing grantees with a transition policy for Low/Moderate Income Summary Data(LMISD) later this year. Please see the following website to view available data sets that use decennial Census and American Communities Survey data: http://www.hud.gov/offices/od/systems`/census/lowmod/ Once you have had the opportunity to review the new Census data and LMISD data, we advise you to consider its impact upon your current Consolidated Plan and Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (Al). The Consolidated Plan and the Al should be updated with any significant changes that you identify as a result of the new data. Finally, CPD has initiated the OneCPD technical assistance process. Under OneCPD, technical assistance uses a place-based strategy with the goal of improving the ability of grantees to understand their local market conditions, set goals, and design and effectively carry out their housing and community development programs.
