Planning: CIVIC-PG 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使拥有住房变得更加遥不可及。2021年，74%的白色美国人拥有住房，而美国黑人的这一比例为43%。由于系统性的种族主义，这些差异持续了几十年。现有的住房存量需要再投资，以满足人口老龄化的需求。由于COVID-19疫情的残余影响以及食品、天然气和其他必需品价格飙升，这些挑战已经加剧。该项目通过共同开发第二故事集体（2SC）来解决这些问题，这是一种新颖的多代共同居住模式，以艺术为中心，使不同的社区保持一致。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。通过利用由社区投入以及多模式数据提供信息的共同设计过程，2SC共同住房模式将解决对负担得起的住房和就地养老选择的需求，同时增加获得服务的机会，减少隔离，并建立社会凝聚力。该项目的研究结果将有助于全面的城市社区发展，创造性的场所营造/场所保持以及参与性研究和设计领域的知识。该项目的主要目标是制定、实施和评估两代同堂的共同住房模式，作为一项防止流离失所和就地养老的战略。跨学科团队将与一个成熟的跨部门合作伙伴网络合作，以解决西费城承诺区曼图亚社区的紧急住房需求，曼图亚是一个迅速中产阶级化的社区，也是全国最贫困的社区之一。该项目将利用由社区资本框架驱动的社区主导的前瞻性行动研究设计，从系统的角度审视社区发展工作，以社区资产而不是赤字为中心。第一阶段将为Haverford的Village Square共同设计和开发2SC共同住房模式，这是曼图亚的一个新的多用途开发项目。使用异构数据，我们将创建相关资源的资产地图，并制定建立和合并试点社区的计划。在第二阶段，项目团队将实施2SC试点社区，并收集数据，包括调查，访谈和焦点小组，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，该试点的结果将成为通过社区驱动的反流离失所和共同住房解决方案实现公平发展的模式，特别是对于历史上被边缘化的黑人社区。该项目是对公民创新挑战计划-Track B的回应。弥合基本资源和服务社区需求之间的差距-是NSF、国土安全部和能源部之间的合作。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值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-led Participatory Action Research design driven by the Community Capitals Framework, examining community development efforts from a systems perspective that centers community assets rather than deficits. Stage 1 will co-design and develop the 2SC co-housing model for Village Square on Haverford, a new multi-use development in Mantua. Using heterogenous data, we will create an asset map of the relevant resources and develop a plan for establishing and coalescing the pilot community. In Stage 2, the project team will implement the 2SC pilot community and collect data including surveys, interviews, and focus groups 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 will 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 the Civic Innovation Challenge program—Track B. Bridging the gap between essential resources and services & community needs—and is a collaboration between NSF, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Energy.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.
