Gregg Colburn, associate professor at the University of Washington and co-author of the books Homelessness is a Housing Problem: How Structural Factors Explain U.S. Patterns and Affordable Housing in the United States, will discuss conventional beliefs about what drives homelessness—including mental illness, drug use, poverty, weather, generosity of public assistance, and low-income mobility—and why none of those fully explain the root cause: housing market conditions. Colburn will outline the types of policies that can best help cities like Albuquerque address this issue. A reception will follow the lecture, offering an opportunity to connect and continue the conversation.

Gregg Colburn, profesor asociado de la Universidad de Washington y coautor de los libros La Indigencia es un Problema de Vivienda y Viviendo Asequible en los Estados Unidos hablará de las creencias convencionales sobre lo que impulsa a la falta de vivienda, incluidas las enfermedades mentales, el uso de drogas, la pobreza, el clima, la generosidad de la asistencia pública y la movilidad de los bajos ingresos, y por qué ninguno de ellos explica completamente la causa fundamental: las condiciones del mercado inmobiliario. Colburn describirá los tipos de políticas que mejor pueden ayudar a ciudades como Albuquerque a abordar este problema.
