USA Spending Link Adds New Research Options.

While it has its limits and issues this new link in the right panel allows one to search for either grants or contracts by organization or by state in varying levels of details.

Its best to figure this out by trying several searches and once you do you will find that you can drill down by agency, program, name of organization, and geography including state, county , and place.

HERE is one example of a list of HUD programs, you can click on any one of them and download varying levels of detail about funding for that program.

And HERE is a listing of more national FY 2006 Housing Choice voucher funding actions that total more than $13.7 BILLION that I downloaded into a single Excel file (7 MB's+ in size) after clicking the Housing Choice voucher program from the list referred to above.( A separate worksheet in this document shows the more than $168 Million in HUD voucher funding for Oregon).

While there are errors and omissions that make these databases less than perfect , they are still better than anything previously available.
