PD&R developed the Multidisciplinary Research Team (MDRT) vehicle to manage a team of qualified researchers. Researchers are selected for their expertise to produce an array of high quality, short-turnaround research. MDRT researchers use a variety of HUD and external data sources to answer research questions relating to HUD’s priority policies and strategic goals.
Current projects underway through MDRT include:
Picture of Disability and Designated Housing
Analysis of need and availability of designated accessible housing for persons with disabilities in HUD assisted housing using HUD administrative data, American Community Survey (ACS), and Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data.
