The Kreisman Initiative for Housing Law and Policy is dedicated to housing scholarship and practice, with the mission of bringing Chicago ideas to bear on housing policy debates, policy making, and legal and business decision making through scholarly research, external engagement, and educational programming.

The Kreisman Graduate Fellows Program creates a cohort of University of Chicago graduate students from across fields of study who are committed to pursuing careers in housing research or practice. The program runs for one academic year and is open to all graduate students at the University of Chicago, such as those studying law, policy, social services, social sciences, data science, medicine, and business.

During the academic year, Kreisman Fellows take part in a range of professional development activities, including coursework on housing policy and practice, workshops with housing experts, outings to learn more about the housing field, and participation in applied work with local housing organizations. Fellows also receive a stipend of $1,500 to support their professional development.
