Research Surveys
Through independent research, we fill critical data gaps to
advance education, awareness, and policy reform.
The Issue: We can’t fix
what isn’t measured.
When indoor air quality is ignored, inspections miss problems, remediations are done poorly, and people get sick. Homes and buildings stay unsafe. Problems grow.
Through our surveys, we go directly to homeowners and renters, collecting independent, comprehensive data about their experiences. The responses are analyzed by an independent research firm, and the findings are presented in detailed, evidence-based reports.
This rigorous approach ensures the data is credible, accurate, and actionable which gives families, professionals, and policymakers the insights they need to raise awareness, understand real challenges, and drive meaningful policy reform.
In 2025, we conducted and published our first national survey on privatized military housing, which is linked below. Stay tuned in 2026 as we prepare to conduct our second nationwide survey on the inspection and remediation experiences of homeowners and renters.
When the problem is urgent, reliable data isn’t optional, it’s essential.
Unsafe and Unheard: Military ServiceMembers and Their Families Sound Off on Dangerous Living Conditions
In October 2025, Change the Air Foundation surveyed more than 3,400 military service members and their families to collect vital data on the conditions of privatized military housing. The results, published in “Unsafe and Unheard: Military Service Members and Their Families Sound Off on Dangerous Living Conditions,” exposed serious gaps in housing safety and helped drive critical federal policy changes.
