PD&R Quarterly Update: Opportunities to Advance
Equitable Transit-Oriented Development that Supports Affordable Housing
Production
On Wednesday, November 20, 2024, from 10 am to noon ET, HUD’s Office of Policy
Development
& Research (PD&R) will host a hybrid PD&R Quarterly Update on transit-oriented development
(TOD). The first panel at the event will look at TOD projects that promote affordable
housing options near transit, while also enabling all community members—regardless
of
income, ethnicity, gender, or ability—to enjoy mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods.
The
second panel will explore opportunities to leverage existing and future transportation
resources at the federal, state, and local level to build more affordable housing near
transit.

HUD Awards $5 Million to HBCUs to Conduct Housing and
Community Development Research
HUD has awarded $5 million to Winston-Salem State University and Tennessee State
University to establish Research Centers of Excellence. HUD’s Research Centers of
Excellence conduct research projects on topics of strategic interest to HUD and produce
research that provides evidence-based solutions to housing, community development,
economic development, or built environment challenges in underserved communities.
Winston-Salem University will conduct and share research on housing and community
development needs and solutions for under-resourced rural communities with historically
marginalized populations. Tennessee State University will study displacement and
relocation from gentrifying neighborhoods in the Greater Nashville Region and the efficacy
of HUD’s Housing Choice Vouchers in meeting the housing needs of vulnerable
populations in
the region.
2025 Innovation in Affordable Housing Student Design and
Planning Competition
Registration for student teams for the 2025 Innovation in Affordable Housing Student
Design and Planning Competition is now open. The 2025 competition will focus on addressing
disaster preparedness and mitigation to reduce long-term risks of loss of life, injury,
and property damage from disasters such as flooding, wind, and extreme temperatures. Teams
must be finalized by January 8, 2025, at 12 PM EST. Student teams will be asked to address
social, economic, and environmental issues in responding to a specific housing problem
developed by an actual public housing agency (PHA), tribe, or tribally designated housing
entity (TDHE).
Call For Papers: Cityscape Symposium on Housing
for
Those Who Have Served in Our Military
In 2025, Cityscape intends to publish several articles in a symposium that
explore
research on housing for U.S. military Veterans and their families. We seek quality studies
across a broad range of areas related but not limited to: housing instability, supported
housing or other publicly subsidized housing, individual or policy-level housing
interventions, and other housing-related topics that include Veterans. A central goal is
to identify a collection of papers that examine housing for Veterans from multiple
disciplines and topics. Papers may be from any discipline but broad enough for a
multidisciplinary audience. We are especially interested in articles that are not
dedicated to health outcomes. Articles must be original work not published elsewhere.
Papers deemed appropriate for the symposium will be peer reviewed and may need to be
revised and resubmitted before a final decision on publication is made. To be considered
for the Cityscape symposium on Housing for Those Who Have Served in Our Military,
proposals are due by December 1, 2024. For those invited to submit, full manuscript
submissions will be expected by May 1, 2025.
For consideration, submit abstracts to both of the following email addresses:
jack.tsai@uth.tmc.edu and shunter@rand.org.
