Morrison Institute Highlights

  • Morrison Institute Housing Research

    Arizona Community Foundation generously funded Morrison Institute for Public Policy to examine issues related to housing insecurity in Arizona. Here you will find all of the Morrison Institute research conducted as part of this project. New research was added throughout 2021-2023.

  • The First Forty Years

    Written by journalist Jennifer Dokes, this 40-page publication chronicles the origins and achievements of ASU's Morrison Institute for Public Policy.

  • Untangling Housing Affordability & Groundwater Regulation

    In June 2023, the State of Arizona published a new groundwater model for the Phoenix Active Management Area (AMA) triggering a moratorium on the issuance of permits for proposed subdivisions that would rely on local groundwater. This explainer examines how these limitations will impact housing affordability in the area.

  • Morrison Institute contributes to the "future of democracy"

    At our Impact Showcase highlighting our 40th anniversary, Arizona State University President Michael Crow stated that Arizona is a "laboratory for the future of democracy" and that Morrison Institute and the university are important contributors to that laboratory.

For 40 years, Morrison Institute for Public Policy has served as Arizona's premier public policy research organization.

Our dedicated team of professional researchers excels at examining trends, policies and practices. 

We've worked with government agencies and nonprofits of all sizes and missions, including direct service organizations and foundations. Our team has been to every corner of Arizona. Over the years, we've learned that investing in research up front saves time, money and headaches later.

We want to help our partners determine what's happening, what's working elsewhere, what people think, and what may be improved. We see our work as a nonpartisan public service.

We conduct interviews, gather and analyze datasets, put polls into the field, assemble focus groups, and bring people together. Plus, we have all of the resources of the nation's most innovative research university at our fingertips.
