Housing policies in and on the mode of the sixth functional specialty

This paper seeks to advance Bernard Lonergan's central achievement of Functional Collaboration, a division of labour within the academy grounded in how we bring about progress in any field of human endeavour. The paper focuses specifically on developing our understanding of and implementation of one of the eight functional specialties, the sixth functional specialty Policies. The paper uses housing as a case study and proposes some housing research policies and some housing policies. It shows how in operating in Policies, a researcher will draw upon the results of the fifth functional speciality Foundations and will pass on their results to the seventh functional speciality Systematics.
