Getting the most out of American Rescue Plan housing funds requires local governments to plan ahead
The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified housing challenges across the country, especially for low- and moderate-income households. Housing prices and rents have risen more than 17% and 10%, respectively, over the past year—reflecting both historically strong demand and restrictions on new supply.
Around the halls: Built environment issues that could define 2022
For the nation’s infrastructure and built environment, 2021 felt like a year of extremes. Extreme weather events such as Hurricane Ida, western wildfires, and recently, the Kentucky tornados made the effects of climate change harder to ignore. Housing prices and rents rose precipitously, driven by strong demand, pandemic-related supply constraints, and policy choices. The digital divide persisted, separating children from school and workers from jobs.

Climate resilience has emerged as a key priority for the Biden administration. President Joe Biden has announced an ambitious goal to cut the nation’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in half by 2030, while the Build Back Better Act (BBB) sets aside $495 billion for a variety of climate initiatives, including tax incentives to transition energy production away from coal and natural gas and toward solar and wind, energy-efficient building retrofits, and electric vehicle tax credits.
Hurricanes are having an increasing impact on coastal communities. This is how policy-makers can respond
Coastal states such as Florida experience more hurricane impacts than other states and thus the greatest labor market disruptions from these disasters.

Results show that the job growth effect of hurricanes is felt primarily through falling employment growth in the quarter following a hurricane.

The southeastern coast of the United States is threatened yearly by hurricanes, some receiving more media coverage and resources than others. Coastal states such as Florida experience more hurricane impacts than other states and thus the greatest labor market disruptions from these disasters. My recent study analyzes the effect hurricanes have on employment and wage growth in Florida counties. The study also demonstrates the importance of using hurricane strength measures.
