About Jane Rongerude

My research investigates (1) how housing policy and planning practices shape and maintain poverty places and (2) the tools that planning offers to interrupt and transform these local systems of poverty management. Within this frame, I consider housing instability, housing and disasters, homelessness, and practices of community engagement.
