Moving Communities to Opportunity: Exploring Public Housing Redevelopment as a Strategy for Addressing Structural Barriers to Economic Mobility

This project uses rigorous quasi-experimental methods to evaluate the effects of the Housing Opportunities for People Everywhere (HOPE) VI public housing redevelopment policy, evaluating whether redevelopment of public housing into mixed-income developments affects concentrated disadvantage, the availability of resources, and the prevalence of stressors in the community, and whether such effects vary based upon the demographic characteristics of public housing sites.
