“Global Housing Crisis” Research on Tap Features CISS Scholars (Feb 28)
CISS faculty and postdoctoral affiliates will be among the panelists discussing their research at a February 2024 Research on Tap session entitled “The Global Housing Crisis: Lessons on Displacement, Affordability, and Homelessness.”
In August 2023, the United Nations published a new report warning of an unsustainable affordable housing crisis, reaffirming their commitment to housing as a human right. This housing crisis is global but it is also local: The housing market in Boston is consistently ranked as one of the most expensive in the US.
Research conducted across Boston University shows that housing affordability has a profound impact on various aspects of life, including health, education, and social and economic mobility, and intersects with every dimension of identity including race, gender, and age. This event, co-hosted by the BU Initiative on Cities, will convene experts, including several CISS affiliates, across disciplines to explore the effects of housing unaffordability, including displacement and homelessness.
