Livable Sunnyvale is honored to host Professor Michael Lens for an insightful talk. 
Professor Lens studies housing affordability and segregation. Current projects concern the neighborhood context of eviction, evaluating California’s efforts to further fair housing, studying how housing vouchers impact economic, health, and justice outcomes in Sonoma County, and several projects (with Mike Manville and Paavo Monkkonen) concerning housing supply in California.  Lens is also working on a book project that examines fifty years of neighborhood change in Black neighborhoods following the 1968 Fair Housing Act.
