Our research suggests that we need more solutions. Let’s reimagine housing in North America. https://t.co/6I7ynj48fm 10/10

We need to preserve whatever affordable housing we have left. Rare local government interventions like San Francisco’s Small Sites program need to be expanded. (Video at https://t.co/IG6dwqaXdd ) We also need to protect tenants. 9/10

New subsidized housing development also helps to alleviate displacement and exclusion in most markets, but it’s not enough. It is time for a bolder approach. 8/10

Although market-rate housing development will undoubtedly help alleviate the housing affordability crisis at the city or regional level, it will not address displacement or exclusion in all neighborhoods. 7/10

When displacement and exclusion occur, it is primarily due to underlying socioeconomic characteristics, not new construction per se. Achieving neighborhood stability and integration calls for interventions at state and federal levels that mitigate structural inequities. 6/10

So new market-rate housing production is neither the villain nor the hero that the opposing sides make it out to be. 5/10

But in the high-demand San Francisco housing market, and parts of LA, the new market-rate units may fail to spur in-migration and exacerbate out-migration. The new construction isn’t enough to overcome exclusion over the long term. 4/10

Our research found that developing at least 100 units of new market-rate housing in a neighborhood helped slightly to alleviate both displacement and exclusion pressures for low-income households in many Los Angeles neighborhoods. 3/10

When we build new market-rate housing in a neighborhood, what happens to existing residents? Check out my new article with@taesoo_song to find out. https://t.co/TvkyhByr7k 1/10

#California #evictions are much higher in larger counties than they were before the pandemic. We'll have a state profile using these data up soon.
calmatters.org
Now that eviction restrictions have mostly lifted, filings have increased.

We're hiring an eviction research postdoc and computational social science lecturer. The researcher will examine ERA impacts on eviction and will pave the way for households level research on migration, health, and other outcomes after #eviction. DM @timthomas for more.

Q: To build or to protect tenants? A: Both + timing matters. New research asks how #policy on #housing stabilization, preservation & production mitigates #displacement by @profchapple, Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, Andrew Miller& @codyzeger via @UofTCities & @uclaurbnplnning

Evictions are piling up across the U.S. as Covid-era protections end and rents climb https://t.co/AyuygQDWOd via @nbcnews

Eviction filings have been increasing since the spring in many places and the problem is expected to get worse in the coming months as federal rental assistance runs out.

Why we need social housing
New supply does not mean affordability without intentional government action to make it so.

Today we're releasing our #oregon #eviction state profile. This is one of the first comprehensive maps for OR in collaboration with Prof. Lisa Bates & her team at @Portland_State & https://t.co/jULQsOQa3e. See the map at https://t.co/UpEVfdfKgU

In #Delaware, #Indiana & #Minnesota, we found 3 things: #eviction filing rates dropped with the CARESAct and local/state/federal moratoria; Black and “Other” renters face the highest eviction rates; eviction rates are now returning to and rising above their pre-pandemic levels.
