Lab Learnings

As part of the Lab process, we looked into the barriers and opportunities to creating inclusive housing. We conducted research through interviews, focus groups, peer research, and secondary research.

There are barriers to creating
inclusive housing

The barriers we uncovered fell into four categories depicted by the four levels of the iceberg: 

  • The tip – shows us what is happening, the EVENTS we are seeing
  • Second level – lays out the PATTERNS or trends
  • Third level – what influences the patterns, the SYSTEMS or contributing structures
  • Fourth level – the thinking or MINDSETS that influence our systems and patterns

There are also many
opportunities

The Lab also found a number of “levers” we can pull to make positive change and move forward on inclusive housing initiatives.
