The Vital Role of Housing in Community and Family
Well-Being
Affordable housing is about more than shelter. Among
other benefits, affordable housing plays an important role in improving
families' educational and health outcomes, strengthens community economic
vitality and improves the environment. In this session, practitioners will share their experience in this area,
documenting both the positive impacts of affordable housing and their efforts
to strengthen the linkages between housing and other key social outcomes. The session will also include presentations
from leading researchers in a variety of disciplines who will discuss the
results of their research on the linkages between housing and transportation,
health and education. The session will
conclude with recommendations for how housing policy can better support these
and other key social objectives.
