Who Can Receive California Housing Partnership Data
It is the California Housing Partnership’s policy to provide data to organizations committed to preserving affordable housing as well as to local government housing agencies complying with their obligations under state law to track existing affordable housing and their verified consultants. The California Housing Partnership will not provide data to real estate agents/brokers or to any other entity that is not clearly committed to preserving affordable housing and respecting our prohibition against the resale or re-use of our database information. This policy applies to the Partnership’s:
- Preservation Database
- California Affordable Housing Map & Benefits Calculator, Partner Access
Acceptable & Unacceptable Uses
Preservation Database information that the Partnership shares publicly, such as property-level addresses and unit types, is available through the Partnership’s online data tool – the California Affordable Housing Map & Benefits Calculator, accessible through chpc.net/data-tools. Other proprietary information, such as the Partnership’s “at-risk” designations, is intended for provision to public agencies fulfilling state-mandated reporting, or in service of advocacy and affordable housing preservation. The Partnership asks that any information about individual sites and their at-risk designations be used on background only, and that site-specific information that may reveal this sensitive or confidential information not be shared, reproduced, or published. This is to protect the privacy of resident low-income renters and to prevent the misuse of this information, at the cost of their access to this housing.
