Keynote Speaker: Homelessness is a Housing Problem 

In Homelessness is a Housing Problem, Housing Scholars Gregg Colburn and Data Journalist Clayton Aldern seek to explain the substantial variation in rates of homelessness apparent in cities across the United States. Using accessible statistics, they test a range of conventional beliefs about what drives the prevalence of homelessness in a given city—including mental illness, drug use, poverty, weather, generosity of public assistance, and low-income mobility—and find that none explain why, for example, rates are so much higher in Seattle than in Chicago. Instead, housing market conditions, such as the cost and availability of rental housing, offer a more convincing explanation.

Speaker:

• Dr. Gregg Colburn, Associate Professor in the Runstad Department of Real Estate in the College of Built Environments at the University of Washington.
