For this project, I chose to target economic inequality in the form of residential housing inequality in the Greater Houston area. As both a persisting cause and effect of geographic and racial/ethnic segregation, housing inequality contributes to the income disparities between Houston neighborhoods.
In my attempt to address this issue, I collected research on Houston housing, focusing on current market trends, landscapes of neighborhood inequality, and affordable housing initiatives. I also leveraged my parents’ connection to home builders through their company Builders Club Services and did the following: 1) send out a housing survey to partnering home builders; 2) analyze the twelve responses received; and 3) synthesize this data with my prior research to offer the home builders a series of tailored action items that could help alleviate current disparities.
