Across America, housing costs have ballooned in recent decades to consume an ever-increasing portion of the average household's income. These spiraling rents and mortgages have also bred separate crises of displacement and homelessness as well as a decline in homeownership opportunities for younger generations. What's driving America's housing crisis and more importantly, what can be done to fix it?
The Murphy Institute's Center for Public Policy Research, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, Tulane University's School of Architecture and its Real Estate Development program, and AB Freeman School of Business invite you to a two-day research symposium on housing policy where panels of experts will discuss how to eliminate barriers to housing production, address concerns of race-based valuation, broaden access to mortgage markets and other solutions for expanding affordability and abundance in America's housing markets.
Day One features discussion panels with experts in housing, lending, policy, and community development to explore solutions to the nation’s most pressing housing challenges. It also features a keynote session with Raphael Bostic, President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, moderated by U.S. Housing reporter Nicole Friedman of The Wall Street Journal.
On Day Two of the symposium, researchers will convene at Tulane University to present their latest works-in-progress on key housing issues including rent control, climate risk and housing, evictions and housing attitudes.
