CELEBRATING HOMEOWNERSHIP

For many people, owning a home represents stability, independence and freedom. Buying a home expands options for the future, whether you plan to sell and make a profit or leverage the equity in your home to pay for other major expenses.

June marks National Homeownership Month — an opportunity to highlight the benefits that homeownership brings to families, neighborhoods, and communities. INHP board members join us in celebrating homeownership. Here they share just a few of the reasons why they support INHP with their time, talent and treasure.

AVAILABLE HOUSING RESEARCH

Beyond voicing support for INHP and homeownership, the research speaks for itself. Research shows that access to affordable housing improves quality of life and that Indianapolis currently has a shortage of affordable options. Through research-based, data-driven partnerships, INHP is uniquely positioned to address these challenges.

Health/Life Expectancy & Housing

Recent studies show:

Secure, stable housing is essential for maintaining well-being across dimensions of physical and mental health.
Investments that create quality housing opportunities and improve neighborhood conditions can promote positive health-related outcomes.
Cost-burdened families may prioritize housing expenses over health care costs, which can lead to detrimental health outcomes.

Review research

Educational Attainment & Housing

Recent studies show:

A child’s home and neighborhood environment can substantially influence his or her academic potential.
Children of low-income families with higher levels of housing cost burdens generally perform worse on standardized tests and achieve lower levels of educational attainment than those whose families spend around 30 percent of income on housing.
Housing opportunities and improved neighborhood conditions can promote academic achievement and educational attainment for families with young children.

Review research

Economic Mobility & Housing

Recent studies show:

Accessing homeownership opportunities continues to be difficult for many low- and moderate-income people.
A home continues to be the primary source of wealth for low- and moderate-income homeowners, and homeownership may provide extra financial security in retirement.
Neighborhoods with concentrated poverty have a difficult time moving beyond cycles of distress.
Housing opportunities and improved neighborhood conditions can yield benefits that promote economic mobility, especially when programs assist families with young children.

Review research

Exposure to Toxins & Housing

Recent studies show:

Exposure to toxins has been linked to an elevated risk of several adverse health outcomes, including cancer, neurological impairment, developmental delays, asthma and other maladies.
Research has shown that toxins in the home, such as lead, asbestos, mold and contaminated water, are significant contributors to adverse health outcomes, especially among youth.
Minority and low-income neighborhoods have higher risks of environmental exposure to toxins, which carry many of the same health risks as household toxins.

Review research

Allostatic Load & Housing

Recent studies show:

Allostatic load is a measure of the cumulative impact that stressful life circumstances have on a person’s mental and physical well-being over the course of their life.
Researchers have found that elevated allostatic load increases the likelihood of adverse health outcomes.
Several research studies have identified a connection between distressed neighborhoods and heightened allostatic load among residents.
The ways that neighborhood distress specifically contribute to elevated allostatic load aren’t clearly understood; researchers are beginning to explore these connections.

Review research

Single & Multi-Family Affordable Housing

Low-Income Housing Tax Credits appeals to a bipartisan audience because it increases the supply of affordable housing while leveraging private investment.
Increasing the supply of affordable housing will require a multi-faceted, long-term, and coordinated effort across all levels of government to address challenging issues such as overcoming regulatory barriers to development, increasing density to increase housing supply, and improving underlying conditions in disadvantaged neighborhoods.
Government involvement in the housing finance system has resulted in much broader access to housing finance for homeowners.
The potential for the US to meet affordable housing goals continues to be strongly influenced by government regulations and governmental institutions.
