The Subsidized Housing Inventory (SHI) is used to measure a community's stock of low or moderate income housing for the purpose of M.G.L. Chapter 40B.  Please note, the SHI has not yet been updated to reflect 2020 Census figures. The 2020 Census Redistricting Data (Public Law 94-171) Summary File that has been released by the U.S. Census Bureau does not include data on vacant "seasonal, occasional, or recreational use" units used by DHCD to determine Census "year-round housing units" for the SHI. The SHI will therefore continue to reflect the 2010 Census Year-Round Housing unit figures until such data is released. The Census Bureau has not published a release schedule for future data sets that will include this data, although it has indicated that releases may not occur until late in 2022. See https://data.census.gov for Census data and https://census.gov to sign-up for email updates from the U.S. Census Bureau.
