NEXT10: The Future of Home

The Housing Finance Policy Center’s 10th Anniversary Series

The Urban Institute’s Housing Finance Policy Center (HFPC) was founded 10 years ago with a mission to educate policymakers, system actors, and the public about how the housing finance system could better serve families, households, and communities, particularly those historically disadvantaged by that system. Today’s challenges demand even more from HFPC’s unique capacities. Therefore, HFPC has launched NEXT10: The Future of Home, which is an effort to develop a North Star research agenda with supplemental events aimed at assessing the housing finance system in the coming decade and address how best to solve these critical issues.
HFPC’s NEXT10 event series brings together experts from a wide array of sectors to explore promising ideas and bold solutions for the US housing finance system, to build important partnerships, and to inspire transformative action. These events supplement the NEXT10 research agenda—comprising new research on today’s urgent challenges, alongside foundational HFPC work that is needed for future impact.
