The Policies for Action research program is releasing Policies for Action: Research on Housing Policies That Promote Equity call for proposals (CFP) to investigate the effectiveness of state, county, and city public policies aimed at increasing housing affordability and stability; addressing racial segregation and isolation from opportunity; and increasing access to opportunity-rich neighborhoods and place-based resources. We are particularly interested in understanding how such policies affect racial equity in housing and neighborhood conditions—especially in small- and medium-sized cities having populations between 50,000 and 500,000.
From its inception, RWJF’s work has been driven by a continuous cycle of research, evaluation, and learning. Our commitment to advancing a bold research agenda helps bring evidence to bear on some of the most complex health and policy issues facing the United States today.
