- Abstract:
- KEY FINDINGS. (1)Housing arrangements differ in their composition, the motivation behind their creation, and their effects. The diversity of arrangements contribute to research gaps, particularly in the understanding of how these arrangements affect individual household members’ experiences. (2) Pre-pandemic and emerging data suggest that housing, economic, and social pressures related to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated recession likely increased the number of shared households, influencing resource security, well-being, and COVID-19 transmission and risk. (3) People living in informal and/or doubled-up housing arrangements can represent some of the most economically vulnerable households, yet these individuals and families may face barriers to receiving assistance. (4) Additional research on the experiences of specific populations during the pandemic, as well as analysis of how evolving household formations affect household members’ economic stability and holistic wellness, can help inform an inclusive economic recovery.
