The
George Mason Office of Housing Policy Research (OHPR) was established to expand
the scope of research on housing policy and planning. The OHPR's mission is to
provide high quality research on the links between housing policy and the economy
in the the Commonwealth of Virginia and the Washington DC Metropolitan Area. The
Center has received support from the Virginia General Assembly, as well as the
real estate and building industries, affordable housing organizations, and local
governments.
What
We Do
The
Office of Housing Policy Research accomplishes its mission by:
- Conducting
objective research on the link between housing and demographic trends, economic
development and fiscal policy;
- Disseminating
and analyzing data on the regional and state housing markets;
- Building
networks among researchers, real estate professionals, development professionals,
non-profit organizations, and local and state government agencies; and
