  • Conducts rigorous academic and empirical research that advances evidence-based policymaking
  • Analyzes current conditions and future trends with the potential to affect housing 
  • Designs and evaluates housing policies and programs
  • Facilitates honest and inclusive planning processes
  • Develops networks and partnerships to advance housing strategies and goals
Our mission is to achieve more effective, equitable housing policy at the local, state, and national levels.
