Affordable Housing Roundtable
The Affordable Housing Roundtable (AHR) is a volunteer project established by the American Planning Association International Division (APA ID) and the MIT Special Program for Urban and Regional Studies (SPURS), which host the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship program, in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning (DUSP).
Mission
Foster meaningful conversations on affordable housing to deepen understanding and identify effective solutions.
Purpose
Provide a forum for people to share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives on housing and related issues. The forum itself entails webinars, in-person meetings, interviews, and a blog.
Serve as a central hub for accessing information, including both the content discussed at the table and resources from other channels.
Create opportunities for capacity building, technical assistance, and mentoring, and invite members and partners to contribute.

"The moral test of government is how it treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the aged; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy, and the handicapped."
-- Hubert H. Humphrey, from his last speech, Washington DC, November 1, 1977.
