This HUD scraper turns the official HUD assisted-housing database into clean, contactable leads with a built-in deal trigger — every Section 8 (project-based), 202 (elderly), 811 (disabled), PRAC, and RAP property in the US. Each row gives the property, address, units, the management contact (name, phone, email), the program(s), the REAC inspection score, troubled/watch-list flags, and — the killer field — the subsidy contract expiration date. Filter by state, program, units, or contracts expiring within N months, and export to CSV, JSON, or Excel.

Built for affordable-housing acquirers & syndicators, LIHTC investors, property managers, PACE/retrofit & agency lenders, and B2B vendors who need both contactable owners and an early signal on which subsidies are about to expire (the acquisition/preservation trigger). Official government data, no API key, no anti-bot.

Why this beats a generic property list

• 0-100 deal_score — the headline field rivals don't have: an explainable acquisition/distress score combining expiration urgency, distress (troubled / in-default / watch-list), value-add condition (low REAC), maturing debt, and lease-up upside — with a deal_score_breakdown so you see exactly why. Filter with minDealScore.
• Contactable — the management agent's email + phone plus the project manager name come straight from HUD, so leads are reachable.
• The deal trigger — next_expiration + the "expiring within N months" filter surface properties whose subsidy contract is about to roll, which is exactly when acquisition/preservation deals happen.
• Financing & distress depth — FHA loan number, original loan amount, loan maturity date, debt-service-coverage ratio, in-default / HUD-held / HUD-owned flags, OPIIS risk score — the underwriting signals others omit.
• Occupancy, rent & demographics — pct_occupied, rent_per_month, rent-to-FMR ratio, tenant income, and the resident profile (elderly, disabled, minority, female-headed, bedroom mix).
• All program subsidies decoded — a programs_detail list (Section 8, 202/811, PRAC, PAC, RAD, BMIR, 236…) instead of two raw codes, plus metro/county/congressional-district geo.
• Clean — HUD's source has 284 columns of nested junk; this returns ~60 useful, flat, labeled fields.
• Authoritative + free — official HUD ArcGIS open data, no key, no proxies.

Use cases

• Acquisition / preservation sourcing — find subsidized properties with contracts expiring in the next 12–24 months before brokers list them.
• LIHTC / affordable-housing investors — build a target list by state with owner contacts.
• PACE / retrofit / green lenders & vendors — reach management agents directly.
• Distressed-asset targeting — filter to troubled / watch-list properties.

Use with AI agents & automation

Run from the Apify MCP server so AI agents can pull properties as a tool call, schedule it via Make, n8n, or Zapier to alert on newly-expiring contracts, or sync to Google Sheets. Clean flat JSON drops into a CRM with no glue code.

FAQ

Where's the data from? HUD's official Multifamily Properties – Assisted ArcGIS open-data service — public government data.

Do I need an API key? No.

What's next_expiration? The earliest subsidy (HAP) contract expiration date on the property — the signal acquisition/preservation buyers track. Use expiringWithinMonths to filter to the window you care about.

Is the email reliable? It's the management contact HUD has on file; coverage is high but not 100%. Use onlyWithContact to keep only reachable properties.

Can I export to CSV or Google Sheets? Yes — CSV, JSON, or Excel from the Output tab, or sync via Make/n8n/Zapier.
