Effects of Assisted Housing on Children’s Healthy Development
The high proportion of income that poor families spend on housing can have deleterious consequences for a child’s healthy development. This article asks whether the increased affordability provided by government housing assistance translates into benefits for children. Do assisted housing parents spend more on child enrichment, leading in turn to their children’s healthier development relative to similar income-eligible families not receiving gov…
The Effects of Rental Assistance Programs on Neighborhood Outcomes for U.S. Children
Project-based housing programs and tenant-based housing programs (vouchers) may have differential effects on neighborhood outcomes for residents. Theoretically, vouchers should enhance access to low-poverty neighborhoods for low-income families thereby promoting economic mobility for children, though vouchers’ success may vary by race and ethnicity. Drawing on a national survey-administrative data linkage and a quasi-experimental approach, we exa…
The Benefits of Rental Assistance for Children's Health and School Attendance in the United States
Programs that provide affordable and stable housing may contribute to better child health and thus to fewer missed days of school. Drawing on a unique linkage of survey and administrative data, we use a quasi-experimental approach to examine the impact of rental assistance programs on missed days of school due to illness. We compare missed school days due to illness among children receiving rental assistance with those who will enter assistance w…
Residential mobility and long-term exposure to neighborhood poverty among children born in poor families
The Impact of Housing Assistance on the Mental Health of Children in the United States
Housing assistance policies may lead to improved mental health for children and adolescents by improving housing quality, stability, and affordability. We use a unique data linkage of the National Health Interview Survey and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development administrative data to examine the impact of housing assistance on parent-reported mental health outcomes for children ages 2 to 17 (N = 1,967). We account for selection into h…
Estimating the Effects of Residential Mobility
This article reviews the methodological challenges of estimating a causal association between mobility and children's cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. Utilizing a comprehensive set of empirical articles published in the past 25 years that employ quantitative methods, it describes the limitations of previous studies and the innovative ways that researchers have attempted to deal with them. The concept of mobility is inconsis…
The Effects of Assisted Housing on Child Well‐Being
The most rigorous research on the causal effects of assisted housing on children's outcomes finds no such effects. The present study uses rich longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, augmented with Census, American Community Survey and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development administrative data, to unpack these nil effects. Analyses include 194 children ( age = 6.2 years) living in assisted housing in 1995 or later who…
Communicating Health Information to Disadvantaged Populations
Interest in the communication of health information among disadvantaged populations has increased in recent years with the shift from a model of patient-provider communication to one of a more empowered healthcare consumer; with the use of new communication technologies that increase the number of channels through which health information may be accessed; and with the steadily increasing number of people without health insurance. Three separate r…

Geographic Differences in Housing Prices and the Well-Being of Children and Parents
This article contributes to the ongoing discussion about whether the official poverty measure should be adjusted for geographic differences in the cost of living (COL). Part of the support for spatial COL adjustments is the concern that the reduced purchasing power of the poor in higher-priced areas could jeopardize the health and well-being of children and parents. The results of this analysis of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and its Child …
Housing Policy for Persons With Severe Mental Illness
Homelessness among persons with severe mental illness is a visible manifestation of deeply flawed public policies. This article critically assesses research to date on housing and related policies for the homeless mentally ill and recommends that future research target three strategic areas: (i) housing subsidies; (ii) landlord reluctance to rent to persons with mental illness, thereby solving one of their major problems in accessing housing; and…
Does housing matter for poor families? A critical summary of research and issues still to be resolved
The long‐term effects of housing assistance on work and welfare
This paper examines the long‐term effect of project‐based housing assistance—public housing and private assisted housing—on work, earnings, and welfare receipt. We use the Panel Study of Income Dynamics–Assisted Housing Database to identify women ever living in project‐based assisted housing and to create comparison groups using propensity scores. Analyses show no evidence that moving into this type of assisted housing is associated with sustaine…
The long‐term effects of public housing on self‐sufficiency
Recent years have witnessed an intensification of the debate about the fundamental purpose of public assistance to the poor and the effects of these programs on children. This study uses enriched data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to examine the effects of living in public housing as a child at some point between 1968 and 1982 on four young adult outcomes: welfare receipt; individual earnings; household earnings relative to the federal …
“… And a suitable living environment”
This article evaluates the relative performance of housing programs in terms of neighborhood quality. We profile neighborhood characteristics surrounding assisted housing units and assess the direction of assisted housing policy in light of this information. The analysis relies on a housing census database we developed that identifies the type and census tract location of assisted housing units—that is, public housing, developments assisted under…

Federal Policy and the Mobility of Older Homeowners
The elderly's immobility is of public policy concern because it may jeopardize both individual and community welfare. Elderly households may face obstacles to moving which either lock them into their current homes or out of suitable alternatives. Only one federal policy (the one-time capital gains exclusion), addresses the mobility of the elderly, but it has been ineffective and probably inequitable. Alternative policies range from targeting the …
Housing and Poverty
A major goal of social programs in a time of fiscal austerity is to focus available assistance on those households in the greatest need. This seemingly simple dictum has become increasingly difficult to follow as the dynamics of poverty have been clarified through analysis of longitudinal panel data in recent years. We can illustrate the importance of these dynamics using the following findings about the future incomes of the 22 million people in…
Human Consequences of Crowding
Residential Displacement
Each year, a small fraction of families move for reasons beyond their control. Among these involuntary movers are the displaced: those who are forced to move due to conditions affecting their dwelling or its immediate environments that make continued occupancy impossible. The average annual rate of displacement moves out of urban areas during the 1970s is estimated at roughly 1.0 percent. Families most susceptible to displacement were those with …
Residential Problems, Dissatisfaction, and Mobility
With the use of longitudinal data on a representative national sample of families, three facets of the process of residential change and mobility are explored in this paper: the incidence of perceived housing and neighborhood problems, the relationships between these problems and satisfaction with house and neighborhood, and the impact of these problems on actual mobility. Blacks and those on welfare reported a disproportionate share of serious h…
