NHC’s research affiliate, the
Center for Housing Policy,
specializes in developing solutions through research. In partnership
with NHC and its members, the Center works to broaden understanding of
the nation’s housing challenges and to examine the impact of policies
and programs developed to address these needs.
Combining research and practical, real-world expertise, the Center
helps to develop effective policy solutions at the national, state and
local levels that increase the availability of affordable homes.
Goals
1.
Expanding Awareness of the Nation’s Housing Needs:
By working closely with some of the nation’s leading housing
researchers, as well as conducting our own analyses, the Center seeks
to raise awareness of the housing challenges facing American
households, with a particular emphasis on the housing needs of working
families with low- to moderate-incomes. From the unique graphical style
of our publications to our online interactive databases, this research
is presented in a format accessible to policymakers, the public and
practitioners alike.
