Our Research

We fulfill our research agenda through the preparation of working papers, research notes, and major reports, and by convening occasional conferences and symposia to extend and deepen our understanding of particular topics.

Our signature annual report, The State of the Nation's Housing, summarizes our analysis of key trends each year, and our Remodeling Futures Program explores the nature and extent of home improvement activity in the United States. We are actively engaged in the following areas of research:

Community Development
Home Repair, Remodeling, and Green Improvements
Homeownership Programs & Policy
Housing Demographics
Housing Finance and Policy
Housing Market Trends and Developments
Rental Housing, Programs, and Policy
Urbanization and Housing
