Locating Reports

Government agencies and nonprofit organizations dedicated to housing equity publish reports that may be of use in your research. Oftentimes referred to as grey literature, these reports are not always indexed in library databases and require browsing the websites or conducting a search within the website. If you haven't conducted a website search before, please view the embedded tutorial below for tips. This type of search can be used in conjunction with any website search feature provided by the organization to ensure you are finding all relevant resources.
