HUD EGIS

The US Department of Urban Housing and Development's Enterprise Geographic Information System (EGIS) provides location, type and performance of HUD-funded activities in every neighborhood across the country; as well as a selection of EPA information on brownfields, hazardous wastes, air pollution and wastewater discharges. In addition, it is capable of conducting map analysis over an ArcIMS platform. The interactive components of EGIS will be released in phases over the next several years. As new technology and additional data sets become available, the EGIS will be upgraded and extended. At the time of this writing, the first phase of EGIS was rolled out to the public. The EGIS will contain many of the HUD data sets as well as data sets from other federal agencies, including EPA, Census and FEMA flood plain data. Users will be able to import their own data for analysis.
