Raheem's research focuses on how public policy and political institutions can expand access to opportunity for all individuals, particularly those from disadvantaged and historically marginalized communities. Most of his current research examines the impacts of social and housing policy on well-being. Recent work focuses on the effects of growing up in public housing on children's long-run outcomes, the consequences of minority enfranchisement on local public finances and the structure of government, and the impacts of land-use regulations on housing markets and neighborhood demographics. He received his PhD in Public Policy from the University of California, Berkeley and his Masters in Public Affairs from the University of Texas, Austin. Prior to receiving his PhD, he conducted research on a range of issues affecting low-income families at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
