Project Report

Housing Visions (HV) develops, constructs, and manages real estate projects that help serve residents and communities. Their goal is to provide for and empower individuals in need of accessible housing. Going beyond affordable housing development, HV uses a case management approach to provide services that enhance resident life and foster community.

In partnership with Housing Visions, Maxwell X Lab (MXL) worked to evaluate the impact of HV properties on resident housing stability and experience, and their health and wellbeing. Research shows that affordable and accessible housing, while beneficial in and of itself, is linked to many other positive social and economic benefits, including health care, food security, children’s education and much more. This report provides a summary of HV resident characteristics and captures their perspectives on their changing housing experiences.
