In this week’s episode, we’re joined by Brittany Webb, Senior Research Director at the National Housing Conference (NHC), whose experience in affordable housing property management and development brings a unique perspective to her research on housing affordability. Webb reflects on her path into housing, the challenges she witnessed firsthand, and how those experiences continue to shape her approach to research and housing policy.
Webb sits down with NHC President and CEO David Dworkin to discuss key findings from NHC’s latest report, Priced Out: When a Good Job Isn’t Enough, and what the data reveals about the growing challenges facing renters and prospective homebuyers across the country. They explore how NHC’s Paycheck to Paycheck database tracks housing affordability across occupations and metropolitan areas, why even workers in traditionally stable professions are struggling to afford housing, and how data and artificial intelligence can help inform housing policy and advocacy.
