2005 - 2006 Emerging Scholars

Stephen Page

In this collaborative study, Professors Kleit and Page will bring together their respective expertise in low-income housing policy and public management to advance knowledge about local-level policy innovation. Using administrative and interview data collected from local housing authorities in the Puget Sound region, they will develop a typology to describe the response of local authorities to dramatic changes in federal policy, client demographics and local housing markets in recent years. By considering the role of both policy and management, their study will provide new insights into the factors that promote successful local innovation in housing policy for low-income communities.
