The Evolving Landscape of Social Housing in New England

In response to persistent and worsening housing affordability challenges, the idea of “social housing” has been gaining momentum across the US. While the details differ, social housing proposals all call for creating permanently affordable housing while also expanding the public sector’s direct role in financing, developing, and/or managing projects; emphasizing broad inclusion by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status; and giving residents more control over their homes. In this half-day event, practitioners, policymakers, advocates, and researchers will discuss both existing models of social housing in New England and new efforts to create affordable, high-quality homes.
