The Purdue University Research Center in Economics (PURCE) invites you to join us for networking, a catered lunch, a faculty research presentation, and a Q&A on October 5.
RSVP today for our next economic policy luncheon:
“The Changing Location of Affordable Housing in Indiana”
with Professor of Economics Mike Eriksen
Director, Dean V. White Real Estate Finance Program
11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Eastern
Wednesday, October 5, 2022
Krannert’s Rawls Hall, 3rd Floor Commons
100 S. Grant Street
Purdue’s West Lafayette campus
Housing in Indiana remains the most affordable in the nation, although significant gaps in affordability still exist for some households. Recent research suggests significant increases in lifetime earnings for impoverished children raised in moderate-income neighborhoods, although the majority of subsidized housing is located in the highest poverty areas.
Dr. Eriksen will discuss changing trends in income and housing affordability within and across Indiana, especially as compared to regional peers. He will also discuss how recently enacted federal policies will affect incentives for both developers and low-income households in where subsidized housing is located across the state.
His talk will conclude with suggestions on how policymakers can make housing even more affordable in the future despite anticipated population growth.
Please RSVP by October 3.
Parking is available in the nearby Grant Street Parking Garage, and we’re happy to provide a parking pass at check-in upon request.
