Georgetown University Profile

Rosen (together with Philip ME Garboden) will co-author a book examining the supply-side dynamics of low-end rental housing markets in four cities. They will use over 150 semi-structured interviews with landlords and property managers, ethnographic observations, and administrative data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to better understand how low-end rentals work for poor tenants.

We have no right to housing in this country and largely we have really abdicated responsibility for housing people to the private housing market. So, studying landlords allows us to better understand how private market actors are shaping opportunities for low-income renters.
