Join HUD’s Office of Policy Development and Research on January 12 for a thought-provoking discussion exploring how HUD’s policies have evolved over the last 50 years and what direction they may take going forward. Following an update on U.S. housing market conditions, this Quarterly Update will delve into the key themes explored in HUD at 50: Creating Pathways to Opportunity, PD&R’s recently released publication that commemorates HUD’s 50th anniversary.

In the first of two moderated discussions, several of the book’s authors will cover a range of topics addressed in the book including HUD’s treatment of race and poverty; the rise, fall, and rebirth of cities; and how HUD’s work serves vulnerable populations. Then a second panel featuring HUD senior leadership will respond with what they, HUD’s thought leaders, expect will be the department’s focus in the future.

We invite you to participate in the event in person, via webcast or social media by following @HUDUSERnews and @PDRevents. We'll be tagging our updates with #HUDat50.
