ULI Launches Online Housing Resource
The Urban Land Institute just rolled out How Housing Matters, an online portal for news, research, infographics, and multimedia examining how housing affects community health.
Funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, How Housing Matters is "a free searchable database of research and news related to connections between quality housing and health." The focus is on quality affordable housing and how it can contribute to community goals, particularly health and education.
The ULI intends for How Housing Matters to serve the housing industry as well as policymakers, advocates, and researchers. The resource is essentially an online aggregator organized around six categories: economy, education, health, people, neighborhoods, and daily news.
The website is clean and well-organized and usually presents a short summary of research findings or the event in question.
