"The Spillover Effects of Housing Policy on Health"

"The cost of housing is high and rising, contributing to tremendous housing instability. Policies designed to promote housing security have the potential to impact well-being and promote health equity. In this presentation, I discuss studies that investigate the spillover effect of a range of different housing policies, including policies that increase housing affordability, those enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and ones designed to enable neighborhood choice. I highlight cross-sectoral approaches to data linkage that provide new information on the connection between social and health policies."
