Housing Experiences and Outcomes of an Understudied Urban Population

在这个项目中，PI使用访谈和访谈者辅助调查，以扩大我们的知识有关的租房者，房主和无家可归的人从一个研究不足的城市人口的住房。 几个研究问题进行了调查，包括这个人口的成员如何体验租赁，房屋所有权和无家可归，以及这些经验如何塑造他们的社会经济和健康结果。 研究的更广泛影响包括研究结果直接适用于有关这一人口的住房决定，以及该项目为研究生和本科生提供的教育和培训机会。该项目以现有的伙伴关系为基础，对未得到充分研究的城市人口的住房经验、社会经济和健康结果进行混合方法研究。 所用方法包括对1,000名城市居民的调查和对80名调查受访者的子样本的纵向定性访谈。 四个一般性的研究问题进行审查。 这些奖项关注这些人群的住房体验如何变化，这些人群的成员如何与邻居和房东互动，他们用来处理住房问题的方法，以及他们的住房体验如何影响他们的健康和社会经济成果。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

In this project, the PIs use interviews and interviewer assisted surveys to expand our knowledge related to the housing of renters, homeowners, and unhoused people from an understudied urban population. Several research questions are investigated including how members of this population experience renting, homeownership, and houselessness and how such experiences shape their socioeconomic and health outcomes. Broader impacts of the research include the direct applicability of findings to housing decisions concerning this population, and the educational and training opportunities the project provides to graduate and undergraduate students. This project builds on an existing partnership to conduct a mixed-methods study of the housing experiences and socioeconomic and health outcomes of an understudied urban population. Methods used include a survey of 1,000 urban residents and longitudinal qualitative interviews of a subsample of 80 survey respondents. Four general research questions are examined. These concern how the housing experiences of this population vary, how members of this population interact with neighbors and landlords, the methods they use to deal with housing issues, and how their housing experiences affect their health and socioeconomic outcomes.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.
