MacArthur Foundation Requesting Research Proposals on ‘How Housing Matters’

The ""John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation"":http://www.macfound.org/ has issued a request for housing research proposals as part of its How Housing Matters to Families and Communities program.

The program is a five-year, $25 million research initiative designed to deepen the literature on the effect that investments in housing have on social and economic outcomes. In the 2012-2013 phase of the initiative, the Foundation seeks to expand the current body of evidence on the difference that living in decent, stable, affordable housing can make in the lives of children, families, and communities.

Research abstracts are due by January 11, 2013.
