CFS’ J. Michael Collins Receives MacArthur Foundation Funds for Housing Research

Affiliates of the Institute for Research on Poverty, Timothy Smeeding, Lawrence Berger and J. Michael Collins received honors from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation to investigate the role housing plays in the long-term health and well-being of children, families and communities. The team will explore unique data sets to assess the effects of income support payments on family residential stability in the face of falling housing prices and long-term joblessness.
