Topics

Housing is a key driver of health, influencing stability, safety, and opportunity. This one-day public workshop will explore how housing insecurity, affordability, quality, and neighborhood factors shape health outcomes, particularly for low-income and underserved populations. Panels may examine policy tools including housing vouchers, rent stabilization, and low-income housing tax credits; regulations such as zoning and building standards; and emerging strategies such as community land trusts and health-oriented design in affordable housing. Speakers will also discuss growing threats to housing stability, including the financialization of housing and private equity investment.
