HCD's policy work is built on the notion that housing is the foundation for life and opportunity. Housing affordability and homelessness have far-reaching impacts that affect other important issues facing Californians. HCD administers research on critical intersectional policy topics, such as climate change, transportation, health, and economic well-being to ensure adequate housing for all Californians.
Below are active HCD research projects. This page will be updated as projects progress.
