University of Chicago Profile

Garboden (together with Eva Rosen) 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 to better understand low-end rental markets.

For poor and low income families, the way we handle housing in this country is an abysmal failure. We have thousands, if not millions, of families who are at constant threat of housing dispossession.
