Why People Move: Residential Stability in DC

As DC grows, the limited availability of affordable housing makes living in the District difficult, or even impossible, for many families. In response to residents’ concerns over the stock and affordability of large units in the District of Columbia, the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development, or DMPED, conducted the DC Housing Survey. They wanted to understand more about residents' experiences with housing and moving in particular. What motivates households of all sizes to move or stay where they are, both now and in the future? And what do these reasons mean for the availability of family-sized units and, more generally, residential stability across DC? Today on the Podcast @ DC, we’ll be talking to Yari Greaney, a Program Analyst on the Economic Intelligence Team at the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development. She led the DC Housing Survey in partnership with The Lab @ DC, and she manages inter-agency affordable housing data to improve the District’s understanding of housing production and planning.
