Emilia Calma ’14 coauthors report for DMV Monitor on regional housing market
Calma majored in political science and international relations at Carleton.
Emilia Calma ’14, director of The Wilkes Initiative for Housing Policy, coauthored a report for the Brookings Institution DMV Monitor. The announcement on the D.C. Policy Center website is titled, “A housing market on the precipice: New insights from the DMV Monitor.”
The report examines the region’s weakening housing market in the wake of repeated economic disruptions. Housing costs are still a clear barrier to new job growth, and there is an opportunity for local governments to contribute to regional economic stabilization and create conditions for future prosperity.
