The Establishment of a Viable Housing Center for Research and Outreach: A Successful Collaboration among Researchers, Community Leaders, Policy Makers, and Consumers

The faculty of the Housing and Demographics Research Center (HDRC) engages in research focused on improving the quality of life of Georgia’s families, particularly as it relates to housing. The Center focuses on the consumers of housing and the policies that affect them. The Center has ongoing collaborations with public and private housing organizations on local, state, and national levels, however there has been a need to seek more stable funding to support the work of the center. The purpose of this poster is to share our experiences with others in the field.
