An academic-level consulting group tracing the roots of displacement: the policies, decisions, and legacies that shape neighborhoods and lives.
We analyze how housing instability, health inequity, and criminal justice contact intersect—then build the data infrastructure, research, and AI solutions that help organizations and policymakers understand root causes and design more effective interventions.
Where housing, health, and justice converge
These aren't separate problems. They're one story we refuse to tell in fragments.
Mapping Housing Precarity Nationwide
We integrate estimates of eviction risk with indicators of displacement vulnerability and economic hardship to identify neighborhoods where housing precarity is most severe.
These data-driven tools give policymakers, advocates, and service providers the evidence they need to target resources, design anti-displacement strategies, and advance housing equity.

Data Science Built With Communities
We don't study communities from a distance. Our approach centers the people most affected by housing instability, health inequity, and justice system contact.
By building research infrastructure alongside community partners, we create tools and evidence that serve the organizations already doing the work on the ground.

Evidence So Clear It Changes What's Possible
From state-level eviction maps that revealed racial disparities in court filings, to risk models now used by policymakers across multiple states -- our research doesn't sit on shelves.
Rooted at UC Berkeley, we combine academic rigor with an urgency for impact. Every dataset, every visualization, every report is designed to make injustice undeniable and solutions actionable.
