In a recent post for the How Housing Matters blog, the Urban Land Institute’s Vice President of Housing Maya Brennan called for a more intense focus on housing issues in the political debates in the run-up to the presidential election next year.
“Public opinion polls find that Americans want their elected officials to do more on housing,” she says, citing several studies to that effect. She adds that the issues that are being talked about are often related to housing at the root level. “The evidence is clear: Where we live—both the home itself and where it is located—makes a tremendous difference in people’s health, educational, and economic outcomes.”
