The Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDC) is the government umbrella for the housing sector in Jordan. It is committed to be a facilitator and an enabler to the sector and has the mandate of planning, monitoring and evaluation of the performance of the housing sector.
The HUDC role in the housing sector required the development of a database for the housing information, in which the data was collected, analyzed and reported. Therefore, a Data Directorate was established in the Housing Policy Department to manage, maintain the system, and to promote the exchange of information among concerned housing sector agencies.
