How do we build public institutions and movement ecosystems that have the capacity to ensure stable, affordable, and dignified housing for all people? How do we ensure that policies result in housing and neighborhoods that meet residents’ diverse needs and aspirations?
By weaving together partnerships with advocates, organizers, practitioners, and policymakers, our housing research proposes transformative solutions to the housing insecurity that is driven by unjust systems and stands in the way of belonging for all. We have contributed to advancing an equitable housing system by illuminating root causes of racial inequalities in housing; analyzing policy models for protecting, producing and preserving affordability; and developing frameworks for imagining and building new housing systems for belonging.
