How Location Search Works

For housing counselors, the actor uses the HUD searchByLocation API which requires latitude, longitude, and a distance radius. If you provide:

• Latitude + Longitude: Used directly
• City + State or ZIP code: Automatically geocoded to coordinates using OpenStreetMap Nominatim
• State only: Falls back to state capital coordinates with a 100-mile radius

Results can be further filtered by state code and service types.

Output

Housing counselor records include: agency ID, name, address, city, state, ZIP, phone, email, website, coordinates, languages, services, counseling methods, and faith-based indicator.

FMR and Income Limits records include rent/income data broken down by bedroom count or family size.
