SCC-CIVIC-FA Track B:Placekeeping: a Co-designed Model for Intergenerational Co-housing and Coalition Building in a University-Adjacent Community

美国住房危机严重影响了服务不足的有色人种社区。不断上涨的租金和房价让拥有住房变得更加遥不可及。2021年，74%的美国白人拥有住房，相比之下，美国黑人的这一比例为43%。由于系统性种族主义，这些不平等现象持续了几十年。现有的住房存量需要进行再投资，以满足老龄化人口的需求。由于新冠肺炎大流行的残余影响以及食品、天然气和其他必需品价格飙升，这些挑战更加严重。该项目通过共同开发第二故事集体(2SC)来解决这些问题，第二故事集体(2SC)是一种新颖的多代共居模式，以艺术为中心，凝聚不同的社区。这一住房共享战略旨在为长期居民保留住房所有权，为新购房者创造负担得起的机会，并降低学生住房成本。通过利用由社区意见和多模式数据提供信息的联合设计过程，2SC共居模式将满足对负担得起的住房和就地老龄化选择的需求，同时增加获得服务的机会，减少孤立，并建立社会凝聚力。该项目的成果将有助于在综合城市社区发展、创造性的空间创造/保全以及参与性研究和设计领域的知识。这个项目的主要目标是开发、实施和评估代际共居的2SC模式，作为一种反流离失所和就地老龄化的战略。这个跨学科的团队将与一个已经建立的跨行业合作伙伴网络合作，以解决西费城承诺区曼图亚社区的迫切住房需求。曼图亚是一个迅速士绅化的社区，也是美国最贫困的社区之一。该项目将利用社区驱动的参与性行动研究(CPAR)设计，从系统的角度审查社区发展努力，同时以现有社区资产为中心。在第一阶段，项目团队为哈弗福德的村庄广场共同设计了2SC共用住房模式，这是曼图阿的一个新的多用途开发项目。使用异类数据，我们创建了相关资源的资产图，并制定了建立和合并试点社区的计划。在第二阶段，项目组将实施2SC试点社区，并收集和分析多模式数据，以评估试点的成功。2SC模式有可能在美国各地的类似社区实施，这一试点的结果可以作为通过社区驱动的反流离失所和合住解决方案的公平发展的典范，特别是对于历史上被边缘化的黑人社区。该项目是对B轨道-公民创新挑战-弥合基本资源和服务与社区需求之间的差距的回应。公民创新挑战是与能源部、国土安全部和国家科学基金会的合作。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The US housing crisis has severely impacted underserved communities of color. Rising rents and home prices put homeownership further out of reach. In 2021, 74% of white Americans owned a home, compared with 43% of Black Americans. Due to systemic racism, these disparities have persisted over decades. Existing housing stock needs reinvestment to meet the demands of an aging population. These challenges have been exacerbated due to residual impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and surging prices of food, gas, and other necessities. This project addresses these issues through the co-development of Second Story Collective (2SC), a novel multi-generational co-housing model that centers the arts to cohere diverse communities. This homesharing strategy aims to preserve homeownership for long-term residents, create affordable opportunities for new homebuyers, and reduce student housing costs. By utilizing a co-design process informed by community input as well as multi-modal data, the 2SC co-housing model will address the need for affordable housing and aging-in-place options while increasing access to services, reducing isolation, and building social cohesion. Findings from this project will contribute to knowledge in the fields of comprehensive urban community development, creative placemaking/placekeeping, and participatory research and design. The main objective of this project is to develop, implement, and evaluate the 2SC model for intergenerational co-housing as an anti-displacement and aging-in-place strategy. The transdisciplinary team will work with an established cross-sector partner network to address urgent housing needs in the West Philadelphia Promise Zone neighborhood of Mantua, a rapidly gentrifying community that is also one of the nation’s most impoverished. The project will utilize a community-driven participatory action research (CPAR) design, examining community development efforts from a systems perspective while centering existing community assets. During Stage 1, the project team co-designed the 2SC co-housing model for Village Square on Haverford, a new multi-use development in Mantua. Using heterogenous data, we created an asset map of the relevant resources and developed a plan for establishing and coalescing the pilot community. In Stage 2, the project team will implement the 2SC pilot community and collect and analyze multi-modal data to evaluate the success of the pilot. The 2SC model has the potential to be implemented in similar communities throughout the US, and results from this pilot could serve as a model for equitable development through community-driven anti-displacement and co-housing solutions, particularly for historically marginalized Black communities.This project is in response to Track B - CIVIC Innovation Challenge - Bridging the gap between essential resources and services & community needs.The CIVIC Innovation Challenge is a collaboration with Department of Energy, Department of Homeland Security, and the National Science Foundation.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
