About This Report
This industry profile for Administration of Housing Programs (NAICS 925110) uses data from HUD[1], Census Bureau[2], and the SBA[3].

Quarterly updates reflect changes in federal housing policy, funding allocations, and local program developments.
Industry Definition & Overview
Administration of Housing Programs (NAICS 925110) encompasses government establishments primarily engaged in the administration, planning, and coordination of housing programs. This classification covers the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, state housing finance agencies, local public housing authorities, and community development offices that manage affordable housing initiatives. Establishments that directly construct housing are excluded from this code.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development[1] administers federal housing programs including public housing, Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, FHA mortgage insurance, and Community Development Block Grants. Over 3,300 public housing authorities operate across the country, managing approximately 1 million public housing units and administering 2.3 million Housing Choice Vouchers. State housing finance agencies issue tax-exempt bonds and administer Low-Income Housing Tax Credits that finance private affordable housing construction.
Housing program employment includes housing inspectors, voucher program administrators, community development specialists, and compliance officers. The Census Bureau's ASPEP survey[2] tracks housing and community development within its government employment data. Federal housing assistance spending exceeds $50 billion annually through HUD programs alone. State and local governments supplement federal funding through their own housing trust funds, inclusionary zoning programs, and down-payment assistance initiatives, creating a multi-layered system that serves millions of households across rental and homeownership markets.
