The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Office of the Director awarded The Rand Corporation $569,003 on August 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct research on the effects of housing affordability and quality on chronic condition management and nursing home entry among low-income older adults. The award is structured as a Project Grant. The research investigates how variation in the Housing Choice Voucher program, the nation's largest rental assistance program, affects health outcomes and institutional placement for low-income elderly adults with chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, arthritis, and asthma or COPD. Low-income elderly adults comprise approximately 50 percent of Housing Choice Voucher program households and face significant barriers in securing suitable housing due to accessibility issues and fixed incomes amid rising housing costs. The study will assess whether increased housing affordability and quality reduce the negative consequences of chronic conditions and the probability of nursing home entry. Performance of work occurs in Santa Monica, California. The period of performance runs from August 15, 2026, through April 30, 2031. The Aging Research program supports biomedical, social, and behavioral research directed toward understanding the aging process and the diseases and special needs of aging populations, with emphasis on Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
