• The Bhutanese Community in Syracuse: Reflections on the 10th Anniversary of Resettlement

  April 17, 2018, 4 p.m.-6 p.m. EDT

  341 Eggers Hall

  In March 2008, the first Bhutanese Nepali individual, Hari Adhikari, arrived in Syracuse. Adhikari was an influential figure in the refugee camps in Nepal and quickly became a leader in the Syracuse community. He has worked relentlessly to empower younger members of the community, which resulted in the formation of the Bhutanese Community in Syracuse (BCS), a non-profit organization. In this presentation, Subedi and Nepal, both members of BCS, will reflect on the challenges they have faced and what they hope for the future.

• States' Affordable Housing Effort: Evolving Federalism and Implications for Housing Policy in the U.S.

  April 10, 2018, 12 p.m.-2 p.m. EDT

  Eggers 209 ~ PAIA Conference Room

  Professor Victoria Basolo - Urban Planning and Public Policy University of Southern California, Irvine. Ongoing changes to state-federal relations are reshaping the U.S. federalism model. In the area of affordable housing, the nation appears to be moving toward a reduced federal role and an increased effort by states in this policy domain. States to some extent have addressed a shrinking federal commitment to affordable housing with state funding, as well as legislation aimed at compelling local governments to respond to affordable housing needs in their jurisdictions. However, the support for affordable housing varies across states. It differs by direct forms such as state fund appropriations and indirect forms such as tax expenditures and regulation. While research has examined single approaches to affordable housing support, including single and multi-state studies, the literature lacks a comprehensive analysis aimed at explaining affordable housing support by states. This research examines a range of actions by states with two objectives: 1) to summarize many approaches to current state support for affordable housing; and 2) to develop an initial model aimed at explaining the level of state affordable housing support. This research uses a secondary data set constructed from a set of sources including the Census, the National Council of State Housing Finance Agencies, the Council of Development Finance Agencies, and existing literature. Quantitative methods are employed to describe and analyze numerous forms of state support and reveal predictors of state support for affordable housing. The implications of the analytic results are discussed within the context of a changing federalism framework.
