“Tenant protections, homebuilding, and housing subsidies are all essential to improving housing affordability and household stability, but they can often be in tension. How do we build more homes without displacing existing communities?” Shane Phillips, author of the Affordable City, outlines a framework for balancing these goals, and discusses the important role that rent stabilization can play in achieving housing justice.

About the speaker: Shane Phillips manages the UCLA Lewis Center Housing Initiative, where he works to improve the public’s understanding of the causes of and solutions to Southern California’s housing challenges. He co-hosts the UCLA Housing Voice Podcast and is author of The Affordable City, and has written about housing for a variety of publications including the LA Times and The Atlantic. Originally from Seattle, Shane studied biochemistry at the University of Washington and urban planning at USC.
