- Envisioning Possible Futures: Emerging Adults From Low-Income Families Living in Public Housing and Their Visions About Future Stability and Asset Ownership
By Eric Waithaka
Although, there is a lot of research conducted in the subject of young adulthood, research on young adults (18-25 years) whose families participate or have participated in public or assisted housing programs is an understudied subject. Specifically, very little is known about how young adults from these families think a about the influences of their living arrangements and their subsequent thoughts and actions about their future. Therefore, the goal of this study was to begin filling this gap guided by three main research questions: How do young adults whose families participate in public or assisted housing programs think about the stability or instability in their housing situation; how does their living arrangement influence their visions of "possible futures" (particularly asset ownership); and how do these young adults fare in a high cost private housing market?(More)
- Collaboration in Transit-Oriented Development of HUD Neighborhoods
By Laurie Walker
Mixed-income policy, while necessary because of housing problems and the distress experienced by residents has not always benefited public housing residents and their surrounding neighbors. Research can determine the outcomes of three questions regarding: 1)current housing and management problems in traditional versus redeveloped public housing; 2) the barriers, successes, roles, and evaluation of outcomes of a Resident Advisory Committee (RAC) collaboration with residents that conducted outreach with existing neighborhood organizations; and 3) whether social cohesion, organizational collective efficacy, and having a transition and/or relocation planning predicts resident readiness for mixed-income redevelopment.

- The Vancouver Urban Model: A New Typology for High-Density Urban Housing
By Robert Walsh
The city of Vancouver, British Columbia, is of interest for research into higher density approaches to urban development because an apparently new approach to high-density urban development has taken hold there, rapidly transforming the downtown peninsula into an urban environment now frequently
cited as one of the most livable in the world. Originating in innovations in planning, development, and architectural design, this urban phenomenon has come to be known by several names, including the Vancouver Style (Gordon Price), The Vancouver Model (Trevor Boddy), and Vancouverism (origin uncertain).(More)
