Keys to Opportunity in the Housing Market
Homeownership is increasingly out of reach for many households. At the same time, elevated demand for rental housing is driving up rents in communities across the United States. How can research inform strategies to improve housing affordability? Join us for the 2023 Federal Reserve Community Development Research Seminar series, Keys to Opportunity in the Housing Market.
During each of this year’s three seminars, gain insights from experts sharing current research and analyses. Panelists will also discuss how this research can help inform policy solutions. Join us to explore how an evidence-based approach can collectively advance policies and actions to promote an inclusive housing market that supports more individuals and families in the communities you serve.
