The How Housing Matters to Families and Communities competitive research program is a multi-year effort to build a body of evidence to guide U.S. housing policy and practice. During the Great Recession and its aftermath, the nation’s 89,000 cities, counties, and other local entities lost large shares of their revenues and tax base because of plummeting housing sales and real estate transfer taxes. UCLA’s Luskin School of Public Affairs will use this grant to examine how the housing market boom and bust affected local public finances and identify economic, fiscal, institutional and political features that make municipalities more resilient.
