dc.descriptionThis inaugural issue of The Lab Report focuses on housing policy. We are currently in the midst of a housing crisis. In the United States, housing insecurity has reached unprecedented levels. High rates of homelessness and evictions alongside low supplies of quality public and affordable housing leave millions of Americans vulnerable. In 2019, more than a third of U.S. households were cost burdened, spending more than 30 percent of their income on housing. On a given night in 2020, 580,000 people were unhoused, including more than 100,000 children. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 318,000 evictions have occurred. All of these patterns disproportionately affect communities of color. As we emerge from the pandemic, housing insecurity is likely to be an on-going challenge at the local, state, and federal levels. We are honored that the accomplished set of authors contributing to these pages have joined us in launching The Lab Report. We begin with three essays that each provide an overview and analysis of housing policy in Philadelphia and beyond. We then move into three essays that offer different approaches to investing in community.
