Webinar: Understanding the Cost of Housing Quality on Families and Communities – Sep 30
Posted by Institute for Research on Poverty on September 30, 2025
Discussion of the housing crisis in the U.S. typically focuses on the issue of supply and demand and the lack of access to affordable homes. However, housing quality, or the physical conditions and environmental surroundings of a dwelling, is an important part of the conversation that has significant impact on the health, stability, and financial well-being of people, especially in historically marginalized communities.
In this webinar hosted by the Institute for Research on Poverty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, panelists will explore how improvements in housing quality over the last several decades may not have kept pace with rising costs for low-income households, how past discriminatory policies like redlining continue to shape the physical condition of homes and neighborhoods today, and the lived experiences and behavioral aspects of housing, such as the tenants dealing with disrepair and neglect of rental properties.
The event will take place September 30 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. EDT.
