Miguel Miguel is a Clean Energy Policy Assistant at Pacoima Beautiful and a graduate from the Masters in Urban and Regional Planning program from the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs. His research focuses on the intersectionality between housing access and environmental injustices faced in BIPOC communities. His research aims to understand how alternative forms of homeownership such as manufactured housing can create a more inclusive land ownership model for better power towards environmental injustice. While at the Luskin School of Public Affairs, Miguel Miguel collaborated on a larger research project led by LPPI faculty affiliate, Dr. Jose Loya, on several topics related to stratification in homeownership, including ethno-racial, gender, and Latino disparities in mortgage access.
