Center for Research on HOME (Housing Opportunity, Mobility, Equity)

The Center for Research on HOME (Housing Opportunity, Mobility, Equity) is a research center integrated within the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development, one of the country's largest municipal housing agencies, giving us a unique opportunity to inform the current and future needs of decision-makers and promote the integration of research evidence within the policymaking process to better serve all New Yorkers. Our mission is to create sound, relevant research evidence to inform policy with a central focus on housing as a source of disparities and a means for achieving greater equity for all New Yorkers. 

Researchers at HOME are deeply involved in the process of research, from design through dissemination.

• We design studies to focus on issues relevant to New York City.
• We conduct fieldwork to understand the stories our data represent. 
• We advocate for the responsible and effective use of data to inform policy.
• We share our findings with a wide range of audiences to continuously engage and learn.
