Providence faces a severe housing crisis driven by university expansion and institutional policies, resulting in high eviction rates and homelessness. The main solution proposed is requiring universities like Brown, RISD, Providence College, and JWU to house their undergraduate students on campus or limit enrollment, which could free up thousands of housing units over nine years without taxpayers' money. Despite efforts such as rent stabilization and zoning reforms, none directly address the universities' role in the demand for off-campus housing; a more targeted approach could significantly reduce displacement and improve affordability.
