What We Do
RESEARCH
Our Center produces a wide range of working papers, research briefs, and major reports about homeownership, rental housing, affordability, aging, remodeling, and more. Our annual State of the Nation’s Housing report has been the definitive source of information about US housing markets for over thirty years.
EVENTS
On campus and across the country, we host dozens of events each year to examine important housing policy issues. In addition to seminars, lectures, and panel discussions here at Harvard, we convene conferences and symposia around the country, bringing together housing practitioners, researchers, and policymakers. Many of our events are also livestreamed.
FELLOWSHIPS & GRANTS
During the academic year, we offer a variety of fellowships and grant opportunities to graduate and doctoral students across Harvard University. We also offer an annual prize for the Best Paper on Housing, and funding for student-run conferences and events.
INTERACTIVES & DATA
Our interactive maps and tools offer visual representations of important US housing information, including house prices, affordability concerns, home improvement spending, domestic migration patterns, and more. Each interactive is accompanied by downloadable datasets. Additionally, many of our reports include extensive, downloadable data at the national, state, and metro level on a variety of measures, including cost burdens, demographics, house prices, remodeling activity, housing construction levels, and much more.
