Housing Neighbors in Disaster Network

National Housing Locator System is a database of available housing in the Unites States and is used by the government in case of emergencies to assist individuals. The portal consolidates rental resources identified and provided by Federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), commercial online vendors and state resources to help individuals and families find available rental units in their area. The database does not collect data on rooms to rent, hotels, motels or vacation rentals.

Housing Neighbors in Disaster Network collects data from the Mom and Pop renters who are not listed by any major vendors and would like to provide the availability info so that it could be used in assisting individuals displaced by a disaster. If you have a large number of properties, it is recommended that you establish an permanent interface with the system by contacting nhls@hud.gov

If you are a landlord or a property owner having an Apartment, Condo or House and would like to add available properties to the National Housing Locator System, register using instruction on the right. If you already have an account setup, please login and update the availability. The data needs to be updated frequently. If there are no updates to the data, it will be removed from the search database after 4 weeks.
