Listserv on Affordable Housing Policy and Welfare Reform
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities invites you to join an electronic mailing list we have formed for the purpose of distributing information and sharing ideas on the interrelationship of affordable housing policy and welfare reform.
The Center is a nonpartisan research organization and policy institute that conducts research and analysis on a range of government policies and programs, with an emphasis on those affecting low- and moderate-income families and individuals. One area of interest to the Center is the intersection of low-income housing and welfare policy. The Center’s research in this area seeks to clarify the implications of welfare reform for housing policy and the potential contribution of housing programs to welfare reform.
To facilitate the exchange of information on the nexus of housing and welfare policy among housing and welfare professionals, researchers and policy analysts, policymakers, and foundation representatives, the Center has formed this listserv. Subscribers to the listserv will receive periodic updates from the Center on issues related to the intersection of affordable housing policy and welfare reform and will be able to send information or pose questions to the Center or to the subscriber list. Among the topics that we expect will be discussed on the listserv are: initiatives that help subsidized tenants find and retain work, the implications of housing legislative proposals for welfare reform efforts, and state and local programs that provide housing allowances to families attempting to move from welfare to work.
We encourage those with e-mail access to sign up for the listserv. If you do not have e-mail access, but do have occasional access to the Internet, you may find selected publications on housing and welfare reform (and other topics of concern to low- and moderate-income families) on the Center’s web site: https://www.cbpp.org.
