Process of Policy Seminar: Affordable Housing

The Center for Policy Design and Governance integrates policy, political and computational sciences in research and instruction to help scientists, practitioners and public service leaders understand and address governance challenges. The center seeks to deepen understanding of how public policies are designed, what makes public policies effective, and how governments can support cross-sector and community engagement in the public policy process. 

Our Process of Policy seminars explore policy deliberation, design, adoption and implementation for some of today’s most pressing issues. The series examines the complexities of policymaking, while also bridging the gap between policy research and practice.
