Spotlight on PAHRC in Affordable Housing News for Public Housing Preservation Research

  • January 8, 2026

The Public and Affordable Housing Research Corporation (PAHRC), HAI Group’s research division, was recently featured in the fall 2025 issue of Affordable Housing News for its ongoing work to strengthen public housing preservation through data-driven insights.

The article, "Putting a Number on Preservation," highlights PAHRC’s research presented at the Council of Large Public Housing Authorities (CLPHA) meeting in Washington, D.C., where the team shared findings from the 10-Year Roadmap for Public Housing Sustainability—a joint project between PAHRC, CLPHA, and the 10-Year Roadmap for Public Housing Sustainability that quantifies the investment needed to preserve the nation’s public housing stock.

“The partnership with CLPHA and the 10-Year Roadmap for Public Housing Sustainability, broadly, has been really rewarding for PAHRC to quantify some of the challenges PHAs face and identify opportunities to solve them,” said Kelly McElwain, director of research at PAHRC. “This partnership is a showcase of the many ways that HAI Group provides training to expand a PHA's skill set to manage their public housing stock and deepen their understanding of the preservation of these properties.”

The Affordable Housing News feature, which appears on pages 8–11 of the issue, underscores PAHRC’s leadership in helping housing authorities better understand preservation challenges, identify funding needs, and plan strategically for the future.
