SUMMARY:Renter Protections in Cities: Emerging Policies and Practices
DESCRIPTION:The Bloomberg Center for Cities | Third Floor\, Taubman Building | Harvard Kennedy School \nCities are rethinking how they support renters amid rising housing costs\, displacement pressures\, and persistent affordability challenges. Across the country\, state and local governments are adopting new protections—from eviction diversion and right-to-counsel programs to tenant screening reforms\, rent stabilization\, and regulations on algorithmic rent-setting. \nThis event will bring together researchers and practitioners to examine what these policies mean for cities: why jurisdictions are adopting them\, what evidence exists on their impact\, and what lessons are emerging from early adopters. \nReflecting the Bloomberg Center for Cities’ commitment to connecting research and practice\, the discussion will explore how city leaders can evaluate policy tradeoffs and design strategies that promote housing stability for residents. \nHosted by the Bloomberg Center for Cities and the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University. \nThe in-person event is open to Harvard University ID holders only. Lunch will be provided. Registration is required as space is limited. Virtual event is open to all. Doors open and food is available at 2:45 p.m. \nClick here to register for the free web event.

SUMMARY:Fixing the Wrong House: Disparities in Homeowner Energy Insecurity and Energy-Related Remodeling
DESCRIPTION:More than 23 million homeowners are energy insecure\, forced into stark trade-offs\, including foregoing food or medicine to pay utility bills\, enduring unsafe temperatures due to inadequate or broken heating and cooling systems\, or facing shutoff threats from their utility. While targeted home renovations can reduce energy costs\, higher-income households are primarily the ones making these improvements. \nSophia Weeden and Diana Hernández will present new research drawing on multiple data sources to describe disparities in energy use\, energy insecurity\, housing affordability\, and home renovation activity. They’ll also discuss the implications for federal energy and housing policy\, including ongoing debates over how home energy assistance and weatherization programs should be designed and funded. Rachel Bogardus Drew will moderate. \nClick here to register for this free event.
