Summer Scholars Program

The HPD Center for Research on HOME (Housing Opportunity, Mobility, and Equity) is excited to offer the 2024 HOME Summer Scholars Program to provide energetic and motivated undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to obtain experience in applied research within a large government housing agency. Our research program offers students the opportunity to work closely with the HPD research team on better understanding how the city helps low-income families in NYC find and maintain safe and affordable housing. The program also provides training to help students in their professional development as social scientists, with particular emphasis on skills related to primary data collection, fieldwork, survey design and administration, statistical analysis, data dissemination, and translation of findings into practice.
