MacArthur’s How Housing Matters to Families and Communities initiative explores the notion that stable, quality housing may be an essential “platform” that promotes positive outcomes in education, employment, and physical and mental health, among other areas.
To that end, the foundation embarked on a five-year, $25 million research investment, which included support for a research network and 42 individual studies. As that research is published, MacArthur is producing a series of briefs to capture the essential findings and insights of each study and present them in an accessible way to help inform policy discussions on a range of topics.
