How Housing Matters to Families & Communities
Application Deadline: 4/17/2009
Rather than informing policy principally through practice, as the Foundation's preservation and public housing investments attempt to do, the new competitive research program would be more directly policy-focused. Its purpose is to determine whether the policy case for affordable housing can be strengthened by rigorous empirical research that determines if and how housing affects the well-being of families, children, communities and their local economies - beyond the shelter value of the physical dwelling itself. Rigorous research may also yield more compelling narratives about the importance of housing in family and community outcomes that often are a prerequisite for long-term policy change.
