Public housing is the oldest and largest supplier of permanently affordable housing in the US, but it has often been left out of the conversation about a new “social housing” system in which public and nonprofit entities would develop, own, and manage housing for low-income Americans.

This summit will bring together entrepreneurs, public sector innovators, policymakers, researchers, and industry practitioners to discuss the best ideas for housing innovation.

Daniel McCue will share our new household projections for 2025–2045, explain the factors that drove them, and explore how they might affect the demand for new housing in the next two decades. 

Many older adults cannot afford the long-term care services they need to live independently, particularly after paying their housing costs. Samara Scheckler and Peyton Whitney will discuss a new paper that estimates the number of older households unable to afford these services and strategies that could make them more affordable.

In Los Angeles County, a unique pilot program is using predictive analytics to help prevent homelessness. Learn how researchers at UCLA's California Policy Lab used anonymized data to develop a computer model that identifies those at highest risk of being homeless, and how the county's Health Services Department is connecting individuals identified by the algorithm with programs and resources to address their needs.
