    April 13th 2021 | Isaiah Williams

    In a new paper published by the Brookings Institution’s Hamilton Project, Robert Collinson, Ingrid Gould Ellen, and Benjamin J. Keys propose three stabilizers that build on the lessons of the Great Recession and COVID-19 pandemic to backstop housing before the next crisis hits.

    Advancing Racial Equity in Emergency Rental Assistance Programs

    March 22nd 2021 | Sarina Noone

    To explore inequities in housing insecurity and inaccessibility of housing assistance faced disproportionately by Black, Latino, and Native American renters—issues that existed prior to and have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic—the NYU Furman Center, The Housing Initiative at Penn, and the National Low Income Housing Coalition collaborated on a research brief: “Advancing Racial Equity in Emergency Rental Assistance Programs.”

    Breaking Barriers, Boosting Supply

    October 12th 2020 | Katherine Rivard

    The Urban Institute’s Opportunity for All project aims to promote federal strategies that support strong and inclusive neighborhoods. In one of the project’s briefs, “Breaking Barriers, Boosting Supply,” Furman Center Faculty Director Ingrid Gould Ellen and the Urban Institute’s Solomon Greene advocate for the federal government to tie state funding opportunities to local affordable housing goals. They highlight the potential for national policy reform to incentivize communities to take action in improving land use and zoning regulations, ultimately allowing for more affordable housing and healthier, more diverse neighborhoods.

    Gentrification and the Health of Legacy Residents

    August 17th 2020 |

    Given the well-researched connection between neighborhoods and health outcomes, it seems a reasonable assumption that gentrification has an impact on residents’ health. This is the topic of “Gentrification and the Health of Legacy Residents,” written by NYU Furman Center Faculty Director Ingrid Gould Ellen and Graduate Researcher Alexis Captanian, published in Health Affairs. In the article, Ellen and Captanian review existing literature on the effects of gentrification to explore how it might influence individual health outcomes for low-income households who stay in place even as the neighborhoods around them change.

    Allocation of the Limited Subsidies for Public Housing

    August 12th 2020 | Alan Patterson

    Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) face higher demand for their units than their available stock. This means that waiting lists are long and policies to prioritize access to certain groups become a crucial tool to allocate housing in a way that benefits the ones who most need it. This post describes the findings of the brief “Allocation of the Limited Subsidies for Public Housing”, that analyzes the effect of local priority systems in the type of households that benefit from this housing option.

    Housing Justice in the Pandemic Age

    July 27th 2020 |

    In the wake of the pandemic, New York State housing courts shut down in early March. Governor Cuomo’s “New York State on Pause” executive order as well as internal directives prevented new eviction filings through June 20, and since then limitations on new filings have been gradually eased. These limitations included the suspension of evictions and residential foreclosures. Housing courts across the state have reopened, posing greater risk of increased evictions and COVID-19 transmission. There are several safety measures policymakers should consider to reduce this risk.

    How Can Historic Preservation Be More Inclusive?

    June 8th 2020 |

    Historic designation may also make it more difficult to build affordable housing, or additional housing units in general. NYU Furman Center Faculty Director Ingrid Gould Ellen, along with Brian J. McCabe and Gerard Torrats-Espinosa ask these questions to understand what it would mean for historic designation to support diverse communities rather than reinforcing socioeconomic and racial segregation.
