HUD Updates Resource Locator App
HUD recently updated their Resource Locator app. The app, which is available for both Android and Apple products as well as a web-based version, maps HUD field offices, affordable housing property management companies, and public housing authority representatives to answer housing availability inquiries and general housing questions. The app includes information about commonly requested housing-related resources from HUD field and regional offices throughout the country; location data and contact information for HUD Field and Regional Offices, PHAs, Multifamily Housing, LIHTC apartments, USDA Rural Housing, Homeless client referral contacts; and provides maps linked via Facebook, Twitter, Google+, email, and text messages. The app uses GIS and Browser Location Detection to show local resources and users can export search results to Excel and generate a custom PDF resource guide. The HUD Resource Locator mobile app is available via Apple iTunes, Google Play Marketplace and through the web browser.
