Research from Mia Brantley explores how Black mothers navigate structural racism and surveillance while caring for their children, showing how race and inequality shape mothering practices doi.org/10.1093/socpro/spad047

Many families move to housing they did not find through an active housing search, what we call "opportunity finds." We argue that understanding residential sorting requires considering not only how households search for housing, but also how they learn about and connect with housing more broadly.

When the house finds you: unanticipated opportunities in the housing “search” ABSTRACT. Prior research on residential selection generally assumes households find housing by actively searching for it. This assumption has led scholars

We document tremendous growth in U.S. federal place-based funding, show it has disproportionately gone to areas with more nonprofits & stronger housing markets, and find a pattern of cumulative advantage in funding among high-poverty neighborhoods.

Congrats, @hopeharvey.bsky.social!
Eager to read this important book on how families double up to make ends meet amid the housing crisis and precarious labor market

I'm looking forward to reading this!

Most students classified as "students in temporary housing" under McKinney-Vento are doubled up.

Looking forward to reading @hopeharvey.bsky.social's book!

Incredible opportunity - share widely!

Racist policing and unaffordable housing are central crises of our time. Indefensible Spaces: Policing and the Struggle For Housing shows how they intersect in the Antelope Valley, Los Angeles County’s northern outpost and a key destination for those pushed out of LA.

PUBLICATION DAY! Pick up a copy of Doubled Up to learn more about how families use doubling up as a private safety net and how these arrangements reshape family life.

Would the Housing Crisis Ease if Boomers Rented Out Their Empty Rooms? Millions of single-family homes are underused, on spacious lots. Refitting them for “roommate houses” or backyard cottages could make a difference.

Doubled Up author @hopeharvey.bsky.social spoke with @conordougherty.bsky.social for the @nytimes.com on the reasons families use shared housing as a safety net:

FYI: The Spencer Foundation, Kapor Foundation, The William T. Grant Foundation, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation have collaborated to offer $25K rapid response grants.

"This rapid response bridge funding opportunity is for scholars and teams whose grants have recently been cancelled by NSF."
