  • Predicting Labor-Force Participation Among Work-Able Public Housing Residents

    Atticus Jaramillo, William M Rohe et al.ARTICLEHousing Policy Debate2021

    Critics of U.S. public housing often argue that the program discourages nonemployed residents from looking for work, yet little research has actually explored how public housing residents make decisions about whether to look for work. Thus, this article explores what factors distinguish nonemployed residents who are in the labor force (actively looking for work) from those who are out of the labor force (not actively looking for work). Relying on…

  • Neighborhood Opportunity and Satisfaction Among Housing Choice Voucher Recipients

    Atticus Jaramillo, William M Rohe et al.ARTICLEHousing Policy Debate2020

    This study analyzes how different neighborhood opportunity characteristics are associated with Housing Choice Voucher recipients’ subjective well-being, as measured by neighborhood satisfaction.

To expand the scale and scope of the foreclosure literature, this article examines place-based differences in estimated foreclosure rates across U.S. counties, which are classified as urban, suburban,…

    Using a mixed-methods approach, this study examines the relationship between informal social support and formal support services and employment outcomes among residents of a public housing development relocated as part of a HOPE VI project in Charlotte, North Carolina. Informal social supports are resources accessible through family and friends within a neighborhood and formal support services are provided by case managers and service providers. …

  • Housing Foreclosure as A Geographically Contingent Event

    Lawrence A Brown, Michael D Webb et al.ARTICLEUrban Geography2013Cited by: 6References: 7

    This article seeks to better understand geographic manifestations of housing foreclosure, moving beyond the usual portrayal that highlights, e.g., race/ethnicity and income. We depart from the usual analytical strategy which centers on factors that subsume high proportions of variance. Instead, this is the starting point for considering constellations and idiosyncratic but formative characteristics—contingencies—that further understanding of, e.g…
