HUD Economists prepare analyses and forecasts of economic and housing market conditions in Region VIII. Recommendations made by Economists are part of the underwriting, fund allocation, and grant approval processes of the Department. Field Economists report to the office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy Development and Research but the Supervisory Economist in Denver remains the principal economic advisor to the Regional Director.

Economists maintain current data on housing market conditions in the region and prepare regional economic and housing summaries for use in the Department's quarterly publication, "U.S. Housing Market Conditions." They provide quarterly economic updates and respond to requests for reports and briefing materials on specific topics such as housing market conditions, affordable housing needs and homeownership trends. They provide data, advice and recommendations to HUD underwriting staff, lenders, developers, finance agencies and state and local governments.
