Post-Occupancy Evaluations for Affordable Housing Design
How do those funding, designing, building, and operating affordable housing know if their completed buildings work for residents? A panel of architects and nonprofit developers will examine how resident-centered Post-Occupancy Evaluations are conducted and how they might be embedded in the delivery and management of affordable housing.
