Our Preservation Prospector tools leverage data from the database — a joint initiative by the Public and Affordable Housing Research Corporation (PAHRC) and the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC). The database was created to give stakeholders the information they need to effectively preserve their stock of public and affordable housing.  

Using Preservation Prospector, you’ll find owner information for more than 50,000 properties. Filter by state, city, county, metropolitan area (MSA) or tract number, as well as by Duty to Serve categories. 

Key features of the Section 8 tool include:

• Summary stats to identify markets that may have a higher opportunity for transactions
• Searchable/sortable property details to find specific properties or owners to pursue and analyze market opportunity

Key features of the LIHTC tool include:

• Summary stats to locate markets that have a high opportunity for transactions
• Searchable/sortable Year 10-15 property details to identify opportunities for resyndications
• Searchable/sortable Year 15-30 property details to identify potential cash preservation opportunities
• Searchable/sortable Year 30 property details to identify properties reaching the end of their extended use periods and identify opportunities for resyndication or other preservation business
