Public Housing Impact Study Funded by HAI Group A first-ever study measuring the economic impact of public housing demonstrates that, in addition to its role as an essential part of the housing market, public housing authorities can make significant contributions to the local economy. This study, funded by HAI Group, was performed by Econsult Corporation. The Council of Large Public Housing Authorities (CLPHA) managed the project, while the Public Housing Authorities Directors Association (PHADA) assisted with the research design. "We've always known how important public housing is to people on fixed incomes and low-wage families," said CLPHA executive director Sunia Zaterman. "The study demonstrates that public housing is a smart investment in families and communities", said Tim Kaiser, Executive Director of PHADA. HAI Group President and CEO Dan Labrie said "We sponsored this study because of our commitment to seeing public and affordable housing thrive." Click here to view the full Economic Impact Study.
