NHPF has spent the first quarter producing and sharing valuable research with the affordable housing ecosphere and beyond.

NHPF is releasing jointly with Enterprise Community Partners Growing Up & Out of Poverty: Enhancing Academic Success Through the Intersection of Housing and Education . This report encompasses information from the 2020 NHPF Symposium and a national study of 500 educators examining where children, families, and schools are today one year since the beginning of the pandemic and lessons to improve the quality of academic and home life for all.

NHPF also worked with SAHF (Stewards of Affordable Housing for the Future) to query its owner-members about life in affordable housing this past year. The Owners of Affordable Housing Survey served as a companion piece to NHPF’s recent Pandemic-Weary Parents Survey of 1,000 low to middle income renters across the country. Of the studies, Richard F. Burns, President & CEO, NHPF says “Comparing what our industry peers say about coping with Covid-19 against what residents say gives a very complete picture of life in affordable housing one year into the pandemic. We see some lessons learned that can benefit both groups.”

Interestingly, the lesson that links all three studies above is the importance of providing services and support to children and families.
